Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups crushed lasagna noodles (broken into pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • for garnish Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ground chicken to the pot. Cook, breaking up the chicken with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, broken lasagna noodles, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
  5. Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. Serve the soup in bowls, adding a generous dollop of ricotta on top of each serving.
  8. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the soup. You can broil it for a few minutes if you prefer a melted and bubbly cheese top.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

💡 Chef's Notes
