Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground beef (halal)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup halal heavy cream or canned coconut milk
- ½ cup halal ricotta-style cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup halal grated Parmesan-style cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened.
- Add garlic and ground meat. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Stir in Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add broken lasagna noodles and cook until tender, about 10–12 minutes.
- Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream, ricotta-style cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan-style cheese.
- Add spinach and simmer for 2–3 minutes until wilted and soup is creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm with crusty bread if desired.
Notes
- For dairy-free option, use coconut milk in place of heavy cream and dairy-free cheese substitutes.
- To keep noodles from getting too soft, you can cook them separately al dente and add to bowls just before serving.
- Stir gently after adding cheese to prevent curdling and maintain creaminess.
- The soup can be frozen after cooking and reheated gently on the stove; add a splash of broth if it thickens too much.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh basil for a bright finish.
