# Ingredients:

04 - 6 cups chicken broth

→ Proteins

05 - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
06 - 1 cup ricotta cheese

→ Pasta & Greens

07 - 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
08 - 2 cups baby spinach

10 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
11 - 1 teaspoon dried basil

13 - Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
14 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
02 - Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add broken lasagna noodle pieces and cook according to package instructions, approximately 8-10 minutes until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
03 - Once noodles are cooked, stir in shredded chicken, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, baby spinach, dried oregano, and dried basil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts and soup is heated through.
04 - Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - For a thicker consistency, allow the soup to simmer for 5 additional minutes after adding the cream.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
