Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2.5 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until light golden brown. Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves for the last minute until fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle in 2.5 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of red chili flakes. Stir for about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and add 1 pound of raw chicken chunks along with 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes.
  4. In a separate pot, boil salted water and cook 2 cups of lasagna pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup of half-and-half with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth. Pour back into the pot, stirring continuously until the soup thickens.
  7. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika, the shredded chicken, the cooked pasta, and 1 cup of fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with dollops of ricotta cheese, freshly grated Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella.

Notes
