Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground turkey, 1 chopped onion, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the turkey is browned and the onion is translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Next, pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups heavy cream. Stir the mixture well to combine.
- Add 12 broken lasagna noodles into the pot. You can break them into halves or thirds, depending on your preference. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then cook until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Season your soup with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle in 1 tsp Italian seasoning.
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in 2 cups ricotta cheese and half of the 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and blended into the soup.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining mozzarella, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.
