Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the shredded chicken, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors meld for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in ricotta cheese and heavy cream, then fold in the chopped spinach; cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the soup is heated through.
  6. Serve hot, ladled into bowls and topped with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

For a vegan version, swap out chicken for shredded tofu and use non-dairy cream and cheese alternatives. Adjust spices to taste for added flavor.
