I’m a big lasagna fan. I’m also a big soup fan. So naturally, this White Lasagna Soup feels like a dream come true to me. Now, I have my classic lasagna soup to emulate my classic lasagna recipe so I figured it was about time I made a soup to mimic the flavors of my white chicken lasagna!

This White Lasagna Soup is loaded with tender shredded chicken, perfectly cooked noodles, and has all of the best flavors of white lasagna but in a warm and cozy bowl of soup.

It’s also made with 100% Canadian dairy which results in the richest, creamiest texture and the best flavor! Bonus: it’s ready in a total of 30 minutes!

Ingredients for white lasagna soup:

• Butter: I use unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter and reduce the salt.
• Onion and Garlic: sautéed in butter to create a flavor base for the soup.
• Seasonings: you’ll need a simple blend of Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. If you love spice, use more red pepper flakes or add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper!
• Chicken Broth: I always use low sodium chicken broth. Regular chicken broth will work, but you may want to lessen the amount of salt you add with the other seasonings.
• Chicken Breast: uncooked! The chicken cooks right in the soup. You can also add leftover Shredded Chicken and stir it in at the end.
• Sundried Tomatoes: optional but I love the extra bit of flavor these give to the soup.
• Pasta: any small pasta shape will work, but I used Mafalda Corta which are like fun mini lasagna noodles!
• Half-and-Half or Cream and Cornstarch: makes up a slurry which helps create a rich, creamy soup. The higher the fat content of the cream you use, the richer the soup will be!
• Spinach: I use fresh spinach so it cooks super quickly. Frozen spinach will work but you may want to add it with the chicken breasts so it has time to warm through. You can also thaw and squeeze out before adding.
• Cheese: you’ll finish the soup off with a scoop of ricotta and a sprinkle of parmesan or shredded mozzarella!

How to make white lasagna chicken soup

This White Lasagna Soup takes just 10 minutes to prep!

1. Sauté aromatics and seasonings: In a pot or dutch oven, melt butter then add in the onions. Cook until slightly browned, then add in the seasonings. Cook for 1 minute.
2. Add chicken and cook: Add the chicken broth, uncooked chicken breasts, and tomatoes. Simmer on medium-low until the chicken is cooked.
3. Cook the pasta: Separately, cook the pasta al dente according to package directions. You can also cook right in the soup, but you may want to add additional broth.
4. Finish and serve: Remove the chicken from the soup, shred it, then add it back into the soup. Whisk together cream and cornstarch and add that into the soup along with the cooked noodles and spinach. Serve topped with cheese!

White lasagna soup FAQs

Variations

• Add more veggies. Boost the nutrition of this soup by cooking more veggies with the onion. Try chopped carrots, celery, red pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, celery, broccoli, etc.
• Make it gluten-free. Swap the regular noodles for gluten-free noodles to make this soup into a gluten-free meal. Be sure to verify that all of the other ingredients you’re using are certified gluten-free as well.
• Make it vegetarian. You don’t need the chicken for this white lasagna soup to be absolutely delicious! Make a vegetarian version by omitting the chicken and using veggie broth instead of chicken broth!
• Use another meat. This soup works great with turkey as well! If you want to add other types of meat with the chicken, toss in a handful of cooked and cubed ham or crumbled bacon.

Serving suggestions

Once the pasta is added, this soup is best served right away! I love to serve it with a side of homemade bread like garlic bread, breadsticks, or garlic herb dinner rolls.

You can also round the meal out with a simple salad or a scoop of roasted vegetables.
