Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion about 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 6 cups Chicken Broth low-sodium
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper or to taste
  • 8 oz Lasagna Noodles broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken shredded or cubed
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Dutch oven or pot
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Add the broken lasagna noodles and shredded chicken to the pot. Continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. While the noodles cook, whisk together the ricotta cheese and heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly ladle about 1 cup of the hot soup broth into the ricotta mixture, whisking constantly until combined. This prevents the cheese from curdling.
  5. Reduce the pot's heat to low. Stir the tempered ricotta mixture into the soup. Add the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring gently until the cheeses are completely melted and the soup is creamy. Do not let it boil.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For the creamiest results, use whole milk ricotta cheese and grate your own Parmesan.
Tip 2: If the soup becomes too thick upon standing, thin it with a small amount of extra chicken broth or milk when reheating.
Tip 3: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning for a subtle touch of heat.
