Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 finely chopped onion, sautéing them until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, then stir in 2 cups of half-and-half and 1 cup of heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken to the pot and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- In a separate pot, cook 8 broken lasagna noodles until al dente, usually about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Add the cooked pasta directly into the pot with the soup. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella until melted.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley or basil. Serve immediately with crispy bread or croutons.
