Our creamy & indulgent (yet still sodium-conscious!) Alfredo sauce meets chicken noodle soup for a bowl of pure comfort on a chilly day. The recipe is very forgiving, swap lasagna noodles for any pasta of your choice.
Ingredients
1 tsp oil
1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
1 pkg Alfredo Sauce Mix
2 cups hot water
5 lasagna noodles
2 cups milk
4 cups baby spinach
Preparation
In a large Multipurpose Pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Crumble in ground chicken. Cook, stirring often and breaking up chunks as needed.
Add sauce mix and water; stir to combine. Cover; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, coarsely break in lasagna noodles. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until noodles are tender, about 8 min. Stir occasionally.
Stir in milk. Keep partially covered and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 min.
Remove from heat and stir in spinach until wilted.
Add toppings just before serving, if desired.
