Substitutions and Additions:
- Seasoning – We used a Italian seasoning blend, but feel free to add seasoning separately. We recommend a teaspoon of thyme, oregano, basil and cloves garlic. For an extra kick to the flavor add in a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Change the Meat – You can easily substitute the chicken with Italian Sausage or make it without any meat. This recipe makes a delicious vegan white lasagna soup.
- Add More Vegetables – This is a great soup to sneak in other vegetables. Bell Peppers, shredded carrots, celery and you can even substitute the spinach for kale.
- Change the Noodles – We recommend any type of short noodles for this recipe. Other suggestions would be rotini or fusilli.
- Cornstarch – You can substitute the cornstarch with flour to thicken up the soup.
- Heavy Cream – Feel free to use heavy cream or cream cheese instead of half and half for delicious variations.
Step by Step Instructions:
Step 1 – In a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat, melt the butter or olive oil. Add the onions and cook until just starting to brown.
Step 2 – Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Add chicken and broth and stir well.
Step 3 – Bring to a simmer and cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes. Then remove chicken and shred.
Step 4 – Add in the lasagna noodles and cook (covered) until al dente.
Step 5 – Whisk together cream and corn starch.
Step 6 – Stir the shredded chicken, cream, and spinach back into the pot and heat through. Stir in ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Then the soup is ready to serve.
Recipe Tips:
- Shredding Chicken – After cooking the chicken in the large pot on the stovetop in the broth, it is ready to shred. You can easily shred the chicken with forks, but you can also shred with a stand mixer.
- Noodles – There is no need to boil the noodles before placing in the soup. As the soup boils, the noodles will be cooked to al dente. This will save you time and cleanup is a breeze.
- Cornstarch Slurry – Make sure to add in the cornstarch slurry. This helps to thicken the soup for the best texture.
- Stirring Occasionally – When making this soup we recommend to continually stirring it for the best texture.
