Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using), cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

- Stir in the pasta and sun-dried tomatoes (if using). Cook according to the pasta package instructions until the pasta is tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the half and half (or heavy cream) and cornstarch. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh spinach until it’s wilted and fully incorporated.
- Ladle the Cozy White Lasagna Soup into bowls and top with a generous amount of ricotta, grated Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve hot and savor every creamy, comforting bite!
