Ingredients
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2–4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried)
1 tablespoon fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
4–6 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup canned coconut milk, heavy cream, or whole milk
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 ounces prosciutto, torn
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Add onion, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and add the chicken breasts. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken using two forks.
- Bring the soup to a boil and stir in the broken lasagna noodles, spinach, and cream. Cook for 8 minutes or until noodles are tender.
- Stir in the provolone and parmesan until melted and smooth. Add extra broth or water if the soup becomes too thick.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the prosciutto in a single layer. Bake for 10–15 minutes until crisp.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with crispy prosciutto. Serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth.
- Gluten-free noodles work well as a substitute.
- Shred your own cheese for better melting.
- Remove noodles before refrigerating leftovers to prevent them from absorbing too much broth.
