Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Total Time: 30 min
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 2 Tbsp oil
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 3 tsp minced garlic
• 4 Tbsp flour
• 1½ tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 6 cups half and half (fat-free or regular — see note)
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
• ½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 2½ tsp Italian seasoning blend (see note for substitution)
• 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 8 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces and cooked until tender
• Chopped fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the chicken.
   Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
2. Make the roux.
   In the same pot, melt butter. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in flour and stir until it thickens into a paste.
3. Add liquids.
   Gradually whisk in the half and half and chicken broth until smooth and creamy.
4. Season and simmer.
   Add salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add cheeses.
   Stir in cream cheese and Parmesan until melted and fully incorporated.
6. Finish the soup.
   Return cooked chicken and noodles to the pot. Stir to combine and heat through.
7. Serve.
   Garnish with chopped thyme or parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve warm with crusty bread or garlic knots.

Pro Tips

• Creamier texture: Replace 1 cup of half and half with 1 cup of heavy cream for an ultra-rich soup.
• No lasagna noodles? Substitute with bowties, rotini, or broken fettuccine.
• Add vegetables: Stir in cooked spinach, mushrooms, or peas for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Meal prep tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge; reheat slowly over medium heat to avoid curdling.
