The Story Behind This White Lasagna Soup
Oh sweetheart… this White Lasagna Soup was born on one of those quiet evenings when the world feels slow, the air outside is chilly, and all you want is something warm, creamy, and deeply comforting.
It was late autumn, the kind of day when the sky stays soft and gray and the house feels extra cozy. I had planned to make a full white lasagna — layers of pasta, creamy sauce, chicken, cheese — but as the afternoon went on, my energy dipped just a little. You know those days, darling… when you want all the comfort, but none of the fuss?
So I stood in the kitchen, staring at the lasagna noodles, the garlic, the cream, the chicken, and the cheese. And that’s when the idea came to me — why not turn all those cozy flavors into a warm, creamy bowl of soup?
I broke the lasagna noodles into pieces, sautéed garlic and onions until the kitchen smelled heavenly, and simmered everything gently in broth and cream. When the cheese melted in and the soup turned silky and rich, I knew I had stumbled onto something special.
Later that evening, bowls of White Lasagna Soup were passed around the table. The steam curled upward, carrying the scent of garlic, herbs, and cheese. The first spoonful made everyone quiet — you know that quiet, sweetheart… the kind that only happens when food truly comforts the soul.
Someone finally said,
“This tastes just like white lasagna… but cozier.”
And oh honey, that’s exactly what this soup is.
Since that night, White Lasagna Soup has become one of our most requested comfort meals — especially during winter, rainy evenings, or anytime we need something warm and soothing.
Now I’m sharing it with you, hoping this soup wraps your home in the same creamy comfort it brings to mine.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making White Lasagna Soup
This White Lasagna Soup comes together beautifully in one pot, sweetheart. Each step builds flavor and creates that rich, creamy, lasagna-style comfort we all love.
✨ Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add:
• 1 chopped onion
Cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in:
• 4–5 cloves minced garlic
Cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
Your kitchen will already smell warm and cozy — the start of a perfect White Lasagna Soup.
✨ Step 2: Add the Chicken
Add your cooked, shredded or diced chicken to the pot.
Stir gently so it absorbs the garlic and onion flavors.
If using raw chicken, cook until lightly golden before moving to the next step.
✨ Step 3: Add Seasonings
Sprinkle in:
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp dried basil
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Stir well so every bite of White Lasagna Soup is evenly seasoned.
✨ Step 4: Pour in the Broth
Add 6 cups chicken broth.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
This savory base is what gives White Lasagna Soup its comforting depth.
✨ Step 5: Add the Pasta
Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot.
Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
The noodles soften beautifully and give that classic lasagna feel.
✨ Step 6: Stir in the Cream
Lower the heat and slowly pour in 1½ cups heavy cream.
Stir gently and let the soup simmer for 3–5 minutes.
Now the White Lasagna Soup turns silky, creamy, and luxurious.
✨ Step 7: Add the Cheese
Gradually stir in:
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup grated Parmesan
Stir until melted and smooth.
The soup becomes rich, cheesy, and deeply comforting.

This adds color, nutrition, and freshness to your White Lasagna Soup.
✨ Step 9: Taste & Adjust
Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or cream.
