Make this comforting White Chicken Lasagna Soup in one pot for an easy weeknight dinner. It captures the creamy, cheesy flavor of lasagna without the layering work.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. You do not need to cook them through.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, topped with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken; add it in step 5 when you add the cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water, then stir this slurry into the soup during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  • This recipe is a great base for adding other vegetables like mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes.
