White Lasagna Soup is a wonderfully warm mix of tender chicken, veggies, kale and lasagna noodles in a creamy, dreamy broth. It's a hug in a bowl and such a fun twist on a classic lasagna soup.
This soup is perfectly easy for when you need comfort food on the table in no time and great for both the kids and adults alike. And, don't forget how amazing this soup recipe is for dunking with a nice pieces of crusty bread. I can't wait.

Pull Up A Chair and Let's Chair!
White Lasagna Soup is a perfect recipe for anytime, any season, and any appetite. It's for those busy days, for the lazy days, and for the days when you just need something easy to put on the table. It's great on the days where the weather is cooling off and you need something super tasty and comforting. I make this soup all year long, and for good reason. Everyone loves it. You can dip bread into it. It tastes amazing. All of the things. All of boxes checked.
Serve this white lasagna soup for quick and easy dinner, take it to work for a simple, comforting lunch. Just don't forget that delicious dollop of ricotta at the end. If you don't do the ricotta at the end, we can't be friends. I'm not kidding. Maybe.
It's impossible to have just one bowl. Believe me. I've tried. The broth in of itself is the stuff of legend. The creamy, cheesy, melty dollop is incredible. It's a favorite here and it will be at your house soon!
The Ricotta Dollop of Deliciousness
Arguably, my favorite part of this white lasagna soup is the ricotta dollop at the end. It's so simple, too. All you do is mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, herbs and seasoning, and salt and pepper. Once you serve the soup, just add a healthy scoop of this mixture and stir it through. It's creamy and salty and herbaceous. It's perfect.
And, should you have leftover ricotta dollop (which I don't think you will), smear it over a toasted bagel or a piece of crusty bread for a snack that is out of this world. You're welcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make this White Lasagna Soup recipe gluten-free?
The soup itself is gluten-free. All you need to do is either substitute the pasta for a GF version or leave it out all together.
What pasta can I use for this soup?
Any kind of pasta you like! I am using broken up pieces of lasagna noocles. You can use long pasta, short pasta, or whatever you need to use in your pantry. You cannot go wrong. I do, however, recommend you cook the pasta separate to prevent the white lasagna soup from becoming too thick. I've even made a lower carb version of this and thrown in small cauliflower florets and cooked until tender!
Can I freeze this White Lasagna Soup?
You can! However, I highly suggest freezing it without the noodles. Pasta does not freeze well. Once you're ready to use it, just let it thaw out in the fridge. Heating/thawing it too quickly can cause the cream to separate. If you take your time, you'll have no problems.
In a airtight container, this soup will last in the freezer up to 3 months.
Tips, Tricks, and Substitutions
- If using a rotisserie chicken for this recipe, debone it while it's warm. It is so much easier.
- Add any veggies you like. You can do classic carrots, celery, onion. Veggies like zucchini asparagus would be really good, too!
- Use cottage cheese if you don't have any ricotta. It's a fantastic substitute.
- Refrigerated ravioli and tortellini are also great options for the pasta and they cook so quickly!
- Stir in a little jarred marinara for a pink version of this white lasagna soup!

Storage and Reheating Instructions
White Lasagna Soup is absolutely incredible. You'll understand exactly what I'm talking about as soon as you make it. However, I do have some storage suggestions that will make life easier for you.
If you don't plan on eating the entire batch in one sitting, store the noodles and soup separately in the fridge. The broth is so good in the recipe that you don't want to lose it to the noodles. If stored together, the noodles will absorb an incredible amount of the liquid.
This soup will stay good in the fridge 3-4 days.
