Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, cook candied bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Leave the drippings in the pot.
- Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pot over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add 1 finely chopped red onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder into the pot. Mix thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in ¼ cup of organic all-purpose flour, stirring quickly to combine with the aromatic mixture. Gradually whisk in 6 cups of chicken stock while preventing lumps from forming.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of white cooking wine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Break 8 lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the pot along with 2 cups of shredded chicken breasts. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 cups of chopped kale. Allow the cheeses to melt and the kale to soften, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into warm bowls and top with extra cheese if desired. Serve it hot with crusty bread alongside for dipping.
