Ingredients

Scale

Protein

1 pound boneless chicken (lean protein source; substitute with vegetables for vegetarian option)

Vegetables

1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 cups fresh spinach

Liquids

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half

Pasta

8 ounces gluten-free pasta

Thickening Agent

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Cheeses

½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Seasonings

1 teaspoon red chili flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Sauté Chicken: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless chicken, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add 1 chopped onion and 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add Vegetables: Stir in ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 3 cups of fresh spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the flavors meld.
Cook Pasta in Broth: Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add 8 ounces of gluten-free pasta, then reduce heat to medium. Cook pasta for 8-10 minutes until tender.
Thicken Soup: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of half-and-half and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the simmering soup and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens.
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy white lasagna soup into bowls. Top each serving with ½ cup ricotta, ½ cup grated Parmesan, and ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon red chili flakes or to taste for a mild kick.

Notes

Substitute chicken with firm tofu or additional vegetables for a vegetarian version.
Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to keep it vegetarian-friendly.
Regular pasta can be used if gluten is not a concern.
Adjust red chili flakes according to your spice tolerance or omit for a milder soup.
For dairy-free options, substitute half-and-half and cheeses with plant-based alternatives.
Sun-dried tomatoes add a concentrated sweetness; roasted red peppers can be substituted.
