Rich and hearty creamy white lasagna soup is packed with tender shredded chicken, lasagna noodles, Italian spices, spinach, and a velvety broth with cream and Parmesan cheese. It's a comforting version of the classic pasta dish but without the hassle of layering the noodles!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (, about 4 cloves)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt (, to taste)
  • Ground black pepper (, to taste)
  • 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken stock
  • 8 uncooked lasagna noodles (, broken into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup half-and-half (, or heavy cream)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken ((I use rotisserie))
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1-2 cups chopped spinach
  • 2-3 Tablespoons freshly chopped basil (, plus more to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook an additional minute. Add the Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Stir in chicken stock. Bring to a light boil and add the noodles. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.

  3. 3

    Whisk 1 Tablespoon hot broth into the half-and-half to temper it. While whisking, slowly pour half-and-half into the pot. Add the chicken, parmesan cheese, spinach, and basil. Cook an additional 2 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Ladle soup into bowls. Serve with a spoonful of ricotta cheese and more basil, if desired.
