Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what makes this White Lasagna Soup so irresistible:
Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and helps caramelize the onions.
Onion: Gives the soup a savory, slightly sweet base of flavor.
Garlic: Don’t hold back here—fresh minced garlic brings bold aroma and depth.
Italian Seasoning: The all-in-one flavor boost that makes the soup taste like it simmered all day.
Salt and Black Pepper: For essential seasoning—adjust to your taste.
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes: Just a pinch adds warmth without overwhelming heat. Add more if you like it spicy.
Low Sodium Chicken Broth: Forms the hearty broth while letting you control the salt.
Chicken Breasts: Cooked directly in the broth until tender, then shredded for that classic lasagna texture.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Optional but highly recommended—they add a subtle tangy sweetness that balances the richness.
Short Pasta or Broken Lasagna Noodles: The pasta soaks up all the flavor and makes this soup extra satisfying.
Half and Half or Cream: The magic behind that luscious, creamy broth. Use heavy cream for an ultra-decadent version.
Cornstarch: Thickens the soup just enough to give it that velvety lasagna-like body.
Spinach: Adds color, nutrients, and freshness. It wilts down perfectly at the end.
Cheese (Ricotta, Parmesan, or Mozzarella): Pick your favorite or mix them for the ultimate cheesy topping.
