Creamy Chicken Lasagna Soup is the ultimate bowl of cozy comfort. It's hearty, budget friendly, and packed with familiar flavors, like a warm hug on a chilly day. Tender chicken breasts, savory onion and garlic, and rich Italian seasoning create a delicious base, while broken lasagna noodles soak up all that flavorful broth. The touch of crushed red pepper adds just the right amount of kick, and the fresh spinach stirred in at the end brings a pop of color and freshness.

This soup tastes like the best parts of chicken lasagna, but in an easy one pot meal the whole family can enjoy. We like to ladle big bowls around the table, serve it with crusty bread, and sprinkle a little parmesan on top. It’s a go to dinner when we need something warm, filling, and fuss-free, especially on a busy weeknight or when we’re all curled up for a winter movie night. Even the picky eaters go back for seconds!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.

• I'm using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but leftover shredded or rotisserie chicken or boneless skinless chicken thighs work great too. Just skip the first step of cooking the chicken if it’s already cooked—an easy shortcut for busy nights!

• Olive oil helps brown both the chicken and onions without burning. For the onion, I like using a sweet onion, but yellow onions, shallots, or even leeks are all great substitutes depending on what you have on hand. 

• The combo of butter and flour creates a simple roux that helps thicken the soup just enough for a creamy, satisfying texture. You can use low sodium chicken broth to control the salt, or vegetable broth is a good alternative if that's what’s in your pantry.

• Lasagna noodles are what gives this soup its fun twist. I like the wavy edged kind, but any will do. Just break them into 1-inch pieces so they’re easy to eat in each bite. Mafalda Pasta works great too!

• If you’re out of spinach, kale is another hearty green that works well too. Finely diced mushrooms, carrots or zucchini are a great addition, add with the onions. Tomato paste, sun dried tomatoes or diced tomatoes adds richness and a bit of acidity if you like a tomato base. Garnish or stir in fresh chopped basil or parsley at the end for a pop of freshness.

Creamy Chicken Lasagna Soup

Creamy Chicken Lasagna Soup is a cozy, one-pot meal filled with tender chicken, pasta, spinach, and a rich, seasoned broth. It’s an easy, hearty twist on classic lasagna—perfect for busy weeknights or chilly weekends.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 sweet onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 1” pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 5 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• salt and black pepper, as needed
• freshly shredded parmesan cheese, for topping, optional

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a cutting board to rest.
3. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the Dutch oven, then add the diced onion. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is tender and just beginning to brown.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the butter and stir until melted. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat the onions evenly.
5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring. Add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Gently scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Increase heat to medium high and bring the soup to a boil.
6. Once boiling, stir in the lasagna noodles. Cook until al dente, according to the package instructions.
7. Reduce heat to medium, then stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Shred the cooked chicken and add it back to the pot.
8. Cover the pot, remove from heat and let the soup sit for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
