Description

Creamy chicken lasagna soup is a cozy, one-pot comfort meal that combines all the flavors of classic lasagna—tender chicken, melty cheese, and rich tomato broth—without the fuss of layering or baking. Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends, this soup is hearty, satisfying, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 celery stalks, diced (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces (or any short pasta)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (blend for smoothness, optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra Parmesan, for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until veggies start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes; cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in shredded chicken. Season with salt and black pepper. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Mix well.
  4. Pour in chicken broth. Increase heat to bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in broken lasagna noodles (or pasta of choice). Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente (about 10 minutes). Add extra broth if needed.
  6. Blend cottage cheese until smooth (optional).
  7. Lower heat to low. Stir in blended cottage cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, and heavy cream. Mix gently until cheeses melt and soup turns creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning.
  8. Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Add more broth or milk if soup is too thick.
  9. Ladle soup into bowls. Top with chopped fresh basil or parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles. For vegetarian, swap chicken for white beans or mushrooms. Add noodles just before serving to avoid mushiness. Blend cottage cheese for extra creaminess. Add cheese and cream off the heat to prevent clumping. Adjust consistency with extra broth or milk as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan for best flavor.
