Why youโll love One Pot White Chicken Lasagna Soup
So it happened. ย My Easy One Pot Lasagna Soup joined the 1 Million Pinterest Club along with my Cream Cheese Stuffed Banana Bread Coffee ย Cake, Chili Lime Chicken Tacosย and my Southwest Pepper Jack Salad (2M)! ย And I must say it is well deserved because that soup is the BOMB with tons of glowing reviews โ definitely a readers favorite. ย If you havenโt tried that One Pot Lasagna Soup yet, please make it this winter because it is SO much easier than traditional lasagna and you will be doing yourself and your whole family a big, comforting cheesy pot of a favor.
Todayโs One Pot White Chicken Lasagna Soup was definitely inspired by my aforementionedย Easy One Pot Lasagna Soup, as I use the same technique but I wanted to created a lusciously creamy soup because who doesnโt love creamy soup?!ย From my Chicken Gnocchi Soup to my White Bean Ham Tortellini Soup to my New England Clam Chowder and White Chicken Chili. creamy soups are the most comforting foods on the planet.
The inspiration for this White Chicken Lasagna Soup more comes from our trip to Cancun. ย Random, right? ย A couple years ago, Patrick and I were going to go with my family to Lake Powell. ย I had been receiving home IV antibiotics through a PIC Line (IV inserted in the upper arm) for pneumonia and so I scheduled to have my line removed a day earlier then we were all going to drive up to Lake Powell that morning together. ย Unfortunately, I got the call that a family member was sick which meant I would not be going to Lake Powell as I cannot be around anyone who is sick due to being immuno suppressed (due to my lung transplant in 1999, see story HERE). ย So my hero husband booked us a spontaneous trip to Cancun the next morning. In fact, you can see a pic of my bandaged IV arm in Cancunย HERE on IG.
So long story made longer, the All Inclusive Resort we stayed at boasted an AH-mazing Italian restaurant with a Bechamelย Lasagna that I ordered on TWO separate occasions. ย The way the velvety sauce cradled the thin noodles in every comforting bite was dream worthy. ย And I knew I had to recreate it in one way or another. ย So this One Pot White Chicken Lasagna is my tribute. ย And its a good one. ย Patrick couldnโt stop raving about theย cheesy layers of goodness. ย And I still canโt get over theย โcanโt-get-any-easierโ approach of dumping all the noodles into one pot without theย time-consuming, tedious, layering!
How to Make Lasagna Soup โ White Chicken Edition!
To make your One Pot White Chicken Lasagna Soup, saute your chicken for a couple minutes, then remove to a plate, then saute your onions, carrots, bell peppers and garlic.
Sprinkle in some flour, cook, then stir in your chicken broth, white beans, and your cast of seasonings including parsley, basil, oregano and thyme because all that liquid cream needs some flA-vor! ย Next, add your lasagna noodles and simmer away until the noodles are al dente.
Next, stir in half and half, optional heavy cream, chopped spinach and warm through.
Finally, stir in 1 cup Parmesan Cheese for extra luscious creaminessโฆ
And you are ready to top your individual bowls withย shredded mozzarella cheese,ย freshly grated Parmesan cheese andย ricotta cheeseโ as little or as MUCH as you like!
Now the list of ingredients might seem long, but keep in mind you are just dumping and running after a quick veggie saute to let the sauce simmer and cook the noodles while your whole home fills with the tantalizing rich aroma of of one of the most comforting soups you will ever devour, one pot soups.
I can never get enough of the texture of the thin al dente lasagna noodles blanketed by Parmesan cream velvety goodness. ย And I donโt want to. ย Thank you Cancun.
Slurp, shovel, repeat.

Instructions

- Melt butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in the now empty pot and heat over medium high heat. Add onions and carrots and cook, while stirring, for 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour then cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes (it will be thick).

- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until lasagna noodles are tender, stirring occasionally so noodles donโt stick to bottom (approximately 20-30 minutes).

Stir in additional half and half or broth if desired for a less โchunkyโ soup. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish individual servings with desired amount of cheeses.

Notes
**If you want to omit the heavy cream but still would like a thicker soup then I suggest whisking 2 teaspoons cornstarch with some of the chicken broth and adding to the soup to simmer and thicken.

Julie says
My family loves this soup!! I did make some changes to try to make it less guilty pleasure. I added a bag of cooked caulirice to the cooked veg mixture (no one noticed) and omitted the flour. Also, at step 5, I added an additional can of beans, purรฉed, to thicken in place of that flour. I only used 1c of hag half because at that point my Dutch oven was full to the tippy top.
It made a giant pot full, which is good since everyone loves it! I felt a little better and everyone thought they were having a bowl of cheese heaven! Thanks!!
Jen says
Thanks Julie, Iโm so pleased itโs a family favorite! Thanks for sharing your substitutions as well!
Marian Rickner says
So glad I tried this soup. Itโs delicious! Creamy, super hardy with lots of flavor. A whole meal in one bowl. Add a loaf of crusty bread and youโre set.
Jen says
Thanks Marian, Iโm so pleased you loved it!
Jaclyn Poupard says
This recipe is amazing!!! I just have one questionโฆhow long do the leftovers keep in the fridge?
Jen says
Thanks Jaclyn, so happy you loved it! Leftovers are good for up to 5 days.
CEO says
One of the best soups I made. My husband in not a big fan of soups he said it was the best soup heโs ever had.
Jen says
YAY! Thank you for the ultimate compliment!
Jennifer says
Made this tonight for the family and it was a huge hit! Thank you!
Jen says
Thanks Jennifer, Iโm so pleased everyone loved it!
Vickie says
This was the best soup ever! Made it for a family soup night and everyone loved it! I used bow tie noodles instead of lasagna
Jen says
Thanks so much Vickie, Iโm so pleased it was a hit with the entire family!
Jo Hoffman says
How many cups of bowtie did you use
Jen says
Hi Jo! In this recipe, I used 10 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into about 1-2 inch pieces, but you could also replace the noodles with 2 1/2 cups uncooked small shells, just simmer for less time!
Renee says
Hi, I am curious how many cups of bow tie noodles you used. I am looking to make this soup and was wanting to use the bow tie noodles as well over the lasagna noodles
Andrea calaway says
Do you think I could use my smaller Dutch oven for this recipe? The 4qt? I need to make two batches at the same time!
Jen says
Yes, if you divide the recipe into to batches, otherwise, you can half the recipe. Good luck!
Crystal G says
This is my very FAVORITE soup. I make it once a year just for me then freeze leftovers for those cold winter months. It is the best. I always have it with Panera tomato basil bread.
Jen says
Thanks so much Crystal, Iโm so pleased you loved it so much! Great to hear it freezes well too!
Tami says
I love this soup. Itโs easy and allows me to use up partial boxes of lasagna noodles in my pantry. I skip the heavy cream and half/half and use milk instead (about a half a cup). Itโs always a hit!
Jen says
What a great idea to use up leftover pasta! Iโm so pleased itโs a favorite!
Veronica says
Made this tonight with some minor revisions- to accommodate my daughtersโ taste buds- and it was devoured by all! Swapped chicken for sweet Italian sausage, bell pepper for green peas, and kale for spinach! Served with a homemade loaf of sourdough bread- delicious!!! Thanks for sharing!
Jen says
All those changes sound delicious, Iโm so glad it was a hit!
Caroline Allender says
Delicious, easy and ingredient friendly, Meaning a person would have most ingredients on hand. Most definitely will be making this soup again!
Jen says
Thanks Caroline, Iโm so pleased it will be on repeat!
Susan Wallace says
This soup was amazing! The first time I made it was for a neighborhood soup-off. The pot was scraped clean; everyone loved it and raved about the flavors. Iโve shared the recipe with several friends who all agree that they receive rave reviews as well.
Jen says
I love the visual of the pot being scraped clean! So pleased itโs a fav!
Gabriela Govea says
Hi i wanted to ask if I wanted to make this as a regular lasagna, do you know what I would have to change to not make it soupy?
Jen says
Hi Gabriela! I actually have a recipe for chicken lasagna, https://capital-axis.live/chicken-lasagna/%3C/a%3E Enjoy!
Jill says
OMG! I think Iโve found my new favorite site for delicious recipes! This soup is amazing! Iโd never heard of lasagna soup until a few weeks ago when a local restaurant had something extremely similar. i loved it then and was determined to find a recipe similar to it. This one blows the socks off of what I had eaten before (although both are excellent).
Thank you so much for sharing this. I made it just like instructed in the recipe and having done soโฆnot a think I would change. Absolutely the best ever!
Jen says
Thanks Jill! Iโm so thrilled you were able to find the soup recipe you were looking for! I hope you love all the future recipes you try here!
Crystal says
This recipe was absolutely delicious. I was skeptical about the beans but they were a perfect compliment to the pasta. Not only was this dish delicious but it made a large amount that was enough to feed my family of 5 (which includes 3 teenagers) for dinner and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. I served it with homemade crusty bread and it was delectable. Iโm already anticipating the next time Iโll be making this dish.
Jen says
Iโm so happy to hear that the beans were a good addition, and that it was a great meal for your family! Your bread sounds like an amazing pairing!
Emilie says
This is the most incredible soup!!! So yummy and full of flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
Jen says
Thanks Emilie!! Iโm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
Sam says
Thank you for sharing this great soup recipe. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I made it exactly as you stated with one option. I used fat-free half-and-half. It was so good. I left the cream out and used very little cheese. I felt like it was a good heart healthy meal. Keep creating and keep sharing. You are doing a great service for other people.
Jen says
Aw thanks so much Sam for your sweet feedback! Iโm so glad that you enjoyed this recipe! I definitely will keep sharing!
Theresa says
Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe. At our church several families take turns making soup for our shut ins and the ageing/widowed populations that often have a hard time making food for themselves. I am always a little gun shy to make a new recipe before I test it out on my family first. Lets just say there was 3rds and 4ths dished up for every one, WE LOVE IT!! Fast forward one week, my kiddos and I are at church not doubling but 5xing the recipe and dishing up over 45 quarts for every one. Yes we had a pot big enough, but a step stool was needed for this short lady to stir the goodness. Oh well. Memories were made. One thing that was a little challenging was breaking up all those noodles. Ugh! and one thing I changed was I used pre shredded Italian mix cheese and a bag of Swiss and Gruyere pre shredded cheese. We enjoy that nutty flavor of swiss cheese and gruyere cheese. Handed all of them out today at church and every one was excited to go home and have some soup. Didnโt even make it 3 hours before the phone calls were coming in for the recipe and requests for more. Simply amazing. Thank you again!!! Its in our rotation of soups we make at home.
Jen says
Hi Theresa! How wonderful for your church to organize that! That made me smile picturing the stepping stool and a tall pot. ๐ Iโm so happy that it was a hit and that it will be in your recipe rotation! Thank you for sharing the love! Youโre amazing!
Ronda McCoy says
Years ago I was looking for a white chicken lasagna recipe when I came across this. I have used this recipe multiple times over the years and tonight I used it for a chili cook-off, and won! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world. Itโs the perfect combo of comfort food and cheesy veggie chicken goodness. I follow this receipt exactly and every time itโs a hit. You have to use ricotta cheese as a topping on your soup, or it wonโt be as delicious.
Jen says
Yay Ronda! Congrats on the big chili cook-off win! It is so wonderful to hear how much you love this recipe! Thank you for sharing your positive review of this recipe! Iโm thrilled that this recipe has become a favorite in your kitchen!
Sue R says
This was wonderful! I used chicken thigh fillets instead as I prefer them. Will make this again for sure.
Jen says
Hi Sue! Iโm so glad that you enjoyed this soup! Thanks for letting me know!
Jaye Maddison says
Hi Jen,
I love all your recipes and this white chicken lasagna soup intrigues me so I must try it. Can it be cooked in a slow cooker? Thanks!
Jen says
Hi Jaye! Because this recipe uses a roux, I would have to experiment to make it a slow cooker recipe โ sorry I canโt be of more help! I hope you still try it out!
