Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Lasagna Soup

Lasagna Soup

Lasagna Soup is comforting, warm, and hearty. It’s perfect for a cold day– and it’s easy to make!

Pasta dishes– lasagna specifically — are comfort food 101. But lasagna can be time consuming to make; it’s an involved process to get all the layers. But putting it into soup form is much easier, without sacrificing any of that delicious flavor you expect.

Let’s talk through the recipe.

Chicken and Veggies

We’ll start by cooking pieces of chicken breast. Our recipe calls for cooking oil– only because chicken takes longer to cook than many other things, and we don’t want the garlic in the butter to burn. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot. Then comes our Fresh Churned Garlic Butter!

Onions, carrots, and zucchini are sauteed in the Garlic Butter, creating a great base of flavor. Next we’ll add some flour to start a roux.

Chicken broth and half and half are next, creating a creamy soup that just like a lasagna.

Noodles

At this point, we’ll have cooked some lasagna noodles. Once they’re cooled, cut them into 2 inch pieces. We did it with a knife so they were even, but you can tear them in you’d rather.

Add cheese to your creamy soup– cream cheese and Parmesan. When everything’s melted and mixed together, add your cooked noodles, cooked chicken, some spinach, and fresh basil.

Voila! Dinner is served!

Enjoy!
