I absolutely never get sick of soups. Even in the throws of Summer when it’s blazing hot outside I still crave a bowl of soup on a regular basis. This is one of my new favorites and I already know I’ll be making this for the rest of the year.
This soup is rich, creamy, and comes together in about 30 minutes. Everything I want in a quick weeknight dinner! The best part is that it’s a soup version of a pasta dish I just can’t get enough of. I’m rarely a fan of traditional ground beef and red sauce lasagna but white chicken lasagna is right up my alley.
This soup is so easy and so delicious I know that you and your family will love it. To make it, start by cooking chicken in a large pot just until cooked through, then transfer it to a plate and cover to keep warm while you make the soup.
In the same pot where you cooked the chicken, make a roux by melting butter and stirring in some minced garlic for a minute or so until nice and fragrant. Stir flour into the butter so that it thickens, then gradually whisk in milk and chicken broth.
Add seasonings and shredded parmesan cheese and cream cheese and stir until cheese is melted and incorporated into the soup. Give it a taste, add salt and pepper if needed, and add cooked lasagna noodles and the cooked chicken. Serve soup immediately and top it off with cracked black pepper and additional parmesan cheese.
Annnnnd that’s it! Just a few steps and a handful of ingredients is all you need to get this perfectly creamy white chicken lasagna soup on the table. Even the kids will beg for seconds!

Looks great!
How does this freeze? Thinking of making some but its just the two of us. Thanks, looks delish! Cant wait to try
I have had great success freezing this!
Most excellent! Next time, I will add lemon juice just when it is finished. AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME!
If I’m using other pasta instead of lasagna noodles, what measurement of pasta would I use?
I noticed that while the instructions on this recipe give you a substitution for Italian seasoning, it doesn’t say exactly when to add it into the recipe. I thought I missed a step before I reread it 3 times. I took a guess and it still turned out great! I may snap my noodles to be a little smaller next time, two inches was a little too big. Definitely adding it into my rotation!
