Creamy White Chicken Lasagna Soup
Description
The Creamy White Chicken Lasagna Soup features bite-sized chicken breast pieces cooked and set aside before building the creamy broth. Butter and garlic form the base, thickened with flour and enriched with half-and-half and chicken broth. Seasonings including onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper add savory depth. Cream cheese and shredded Parmesan are stirred in to melt smoothly, giving the soup its signature creamy texture and cheesy flavor. Broken lasagna noodles are cooked separately and folded in last, along with the cooked chicken, enhancing the pasta-soup hybrid experience. The soup finishes garnished with fresh thyme or parsley to add a fresh herbal note.
This soup presents a tasty variation on traditional lasagna, offering ease of preparation without layering or baking. It can be served with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. The creamy nature and comforting ingredients make it ideal for cooler weather or anytime you want a warm, pasta-infused soup dish.
Notes suggest substituting dried herbs for the Italian seasoning blend and increasing creaminess by replacing some half-and-half with heavy cream. These adjustments allow customization of richness and flavor intensity.
