Make this creamy white chicken lasagna soup for a comforting, easy weeknight dinner. It captures all the cheesy, savory flavors of white lasagna in a warm, one-pot soup form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup broken lasagna noodles (about 4–5 sheets)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, Italian seasoning, basil, pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package directions for the noodles, usually about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese until the cheeses are fully melted and the soup is creamy.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use pre-cooked shredded chicken instead of raw chicken; add it in Step 6.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water (a slurry) and stir it in before adding the cream.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen, thawed, and squeezed dry spinach.
