Sauté Onions: In a pot, sauté sweet onion in olive oil. Add red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Once onions are translucent, add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Veggie Mix: Add yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Cook Noodles: Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook until al dente (approximately 9-11 minutes).

Cheese Topping Blend: While the soup simmers, blend ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.

Final Flavors: Add diced cooked chicken, cream, fresh spinach, Parmesan, pesto, and more salt and pepper to taste.
