Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, cooked and shredded
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Sauté the diced onions in a large pot over medium heat until translucent and soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth to the pot, then stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook according to pasta package directions until al dente.
Stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Remove from heat, top with shredded mozzarella, and stir gently until the cheese has melted into the soup.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of chicken broth if the soup has thickened too much. For an extra touch of Italian flavor, serve with a garnish of fresh basil or parsley.
