Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Noodles

  • 2 cups cooked shredded organic chicken breasts
  • 89 broken lasagna noodles

Bacon

  • 6 strips candied bacon

Soup Base and Seasonings

  • 5 cups organic chicken stock
  • 1 cup organic heavy cream
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt, adjust to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup white wine (optional)

Cheese and Greens

  • 1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup chopped kale

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: In a large pot, cook the candied bacon strips until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon once cooled and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly coat the aromatics and build flavor.
  4. Create Roux and Add Stock: Sprinkle the flour into the pot while stirring continuously to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock to avoid lumps, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Incorporate Cream and Wine: Stir in the heavy cream and white wine, then let the soup simmer gently until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Cook Noodles and Chicken: Add the broken lasagna noodles and shredded chicken to the pot. Continue cooking until the noodles become tender, approximately 10 minutes.
  7. Finish with Cheese and Greens: Stir in the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped kale, and crumbled candied bacon. Heat through until the cheese is fully melted and the kale is wilted, about 3 minutes.
  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use organic chicken stock and heavy cream for richer flavor and better quality.
  • Candied bacon adds sweet and smoky crunch, but you can substitute with regular bacon or turkey bacon if preferred.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, increase the flour slightly to 3 tablespoons.
  • White wine is optional but adds depth; you can substitute with more chicken stock if desired.
  • Feel free to substitute kale with spinach or Swiss chard for variation.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
