Make this simple, one-pot white chicken lasagna soup for a creamy, cheesy, and hearty meal that tastes like lasagna without the baking.

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, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

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 completely through.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes (if using). Cook just until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter soup, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • If you prefer shredded chicken, cook the chicken breasts whole in the broth, remove them, shred them, and return them to the pot before adding the cream.
  • Use no-boil lasagna noodles if you prefer, but adjust the simmering time according to package directions.
