1 lb (500 g) ground chicken
1 tbsp (15 mL) dried oregano
1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar
1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) chili flakes
28 oz (796 mL) can crushed tomatoes

Directions

1- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onions, peppers and mushrooms until onions are translucent and peppers are softened, 6 – 7 minutes. Add chicken, stirring to break up and cook until no pinks remains, about 8 minutes.
2- Stir in oregano, sugar, salt, chili flakes, crushed tomatoes, broth and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in lasagna pieces; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, 17 – 18 minutes. Stir in cream and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
3- If broiling, ladle soup into oven-safe bowls and top with mozzarella. Broil until golden and bubbly.
