Οδηγίες

In a large pot or a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add onion, carrots and celery. Saute for about 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute or until fragrant.

Season with Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk in flour until combined.

Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir and bring to a boil. Then, add chicken breasts and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. When cooled enough to handle, shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook broken lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Note: I used 6 large lasagna noodles, but you can cook a few extra (2–4 more) if you like a pasta-heavy soup. Just add more if you want after tasting.

Bring the soup base to a simmer again. Add milk and cream cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until melted.

Stir in Parmesan cheese, baby spinach, and shredded chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3 minutes or until Parmesan cheese is melted, spinach is slightly wilted, and chicken is reheated. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.

Remove the soup from the stove. Add cooked lasagna noodles to each bowl of soup right before serving. Garnish fresh herbs and shaved Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
