Directions
- Prepare the Meat:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the ground chicken or Italian sausage, cooking until browned. Break it into small pieces with a spatula.
- Drain excess fat to prevent the soup from becoming too greasy.
- Cook the Onions and Garlic:
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the cooked meat.
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic.
- Add the Broth and Seasonings:
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and tomato preserves (or tomato sauce). Stir well.
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. If desired, add red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil to blend the flavors.
- Cook the Noodles:
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but not overcooked.
- Incorporate the Cheese:
- Lower the heat.
- Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts and thickens the soup.
- Add the grated mozzarella cheese and mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Garnish each serving with freshly chopped basil or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Optionally, add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
