Seasonings and Liquids:
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 small onion, diced

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
- Prepare lasagna noodles according to package directions, then drain and reserve for later use.
- Heat butter in a large pot over medium temperature, sautéing diced onions until they become translucent and softened.
- Introduce minced garlic and quickly toast for approximately 30 seconds to release aromatic flavors.
- Incorporate cooked chicken, chicken broth, heavy cream, and milk into the pot, mixing thoroughly to combine ingredients.
- Enhance the mixture with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, creating a robust flavor profile.
- Allow the liquid to reach a gentle simmer, then gradually whisk in cornstarch slurry to gradually thicken the soup’s consistency.
- Gradually fold in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, stirring continuously until completely melted and creating a smooth, creamy texture.
- Gently fold the reserved lasagna noodles into the soup, letting them absorb the flavors while simmering for an additional 5 minutes.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling fresh chopped parsley over the top and serve piping hot, offering a comforting and hearty meal.
Notes
- Break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces for easier eating and a more soup-like consistency.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation and richer flavor profile.
- Swap whole milk for lighter options like 2% or almond milk to reduce calorie content without compromising creaminess.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing red pepper flakes based on personal heat preference.
