White Lasagna Soup
Indulgently creamy white lasagna soup brims with tender chicken, noodles, veggies, and cheese. Like alfredo-style lasagna but without the layering fuss.
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 chicken (I use rotisserie)
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1-2 cups chopped spinach
- 2-3 Tablespoons freshly chopped basil , plus more to taste
Optional for serving: Ricotta cheese
Instructions
- Saute onion and garlic: In a large pot, heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add in 1 cup onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook an additional minute. Add 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook noodles. Stir in 4 cups chicken stock. Bring to a light boil and add 8 uncooked lasagna noodles. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
- Add creamy ingredients and chicken. Whisk 1 Tablespoon hot broth into the half-and-half to temper it. While whisking, slowly pour remaining 1 cup half-and-half into the pot. Add the 2 cups shredded chicken, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1-2 cups spinach, and 2 Tablespoons basil. Cook an additional 2 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve. Ladle soup into bowls. Serve with a spoonful of ricotta cheese and more basil, if desired.
Notes
You can sneak in a cup of shredded carrots, diced celery or zucchini for added veggies.
If you'd like the soup thinner, add more chicken stock or broth.
Storage: Store leftover soup in a covered container up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
