Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves, 2.5 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of red chili flakes for an additional minute.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and add 1 pound of chicken chunks and 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook for 12-15 minutes until chicken is tender.
- While the soup is simmering, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 cups of lasagna pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of half-and-half and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Gradually add this to the simmering soup, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika, the cooked chicken, reserved pasta, and 1 cup of spinach to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella. The cheese will melt slightly into the soup.
