The Story & Intro
Bonjour my friends! 👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
This White Lasagna Chicken Soup was born on one of those chilly evenings when I missed home deeply but wanted something undeniably American-comforting. Lasagna always felt like a celebration dish growing up layers of love, patience, and warmth. But soup? Soup is a hug. 🤍
So one snowy night, I asked myself: what if lasagna and soup fell in love? And not just any lasagna a white lasagna, creamy, garlicky, rich without being heavy. I simmered chicken slowly, added herbs, broke lasagna noodles with my hands (very therapeutic, by the way), and finished everything with cream and parmesan. The result? A bowl so comforting it makes you close your eyes after the first spoonful.
This White Lasagna Chicken Soup has since become one of my most-requested recipes. It’s cozy without being boring, indulgent without being overwhelming, and perfect for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays. If you love creamy soups, lasagna flavors, and easy one-pot meals, this recipe will absolutely steal your heart. 💕
🛒 Ingredients

Simple pantry ingredients, but when they come together? Absolute magic ✨
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Build the flavor base
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and let it bloom your kitchen will already smell incredible.
2. Season and cook the chicken
Add chicken breasts directly into the pot. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring everything to a gentle boil.
3. Shred the chicken
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return it back to the soup this step makes the White Lasagna Chicken Soup feel hearty and satisfying.
4. Add the noodles
Break the lasagna noodles into rustic pieces and drop them straight into the soup. Let them simmer until tender, stirring occasionally so they don’t stick.
5. Make it creamy
Lower the heat. Stir in cream cheese until fully melted, followed by heavy cream. Watch the broth turn silky, rich, and beautifully white.
6. Finish with greens and cheese
Add fresh spinach and let it wilt naturally. Stir in parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning to taste. One final stir and you’re done!

🍽️ Serving Suggestions
This White Lasagna Chicken Soup is fabulous on its own, but here’s how I love to serve it:
- With warm garlic bread or crusty sourdough 🥖
- Topped with extra parmesan and fresh basil
- A side Caesar salad for balance
- Paired with a glass of crisp white wine 🍷
It’s also incredible as leftovers the flavors deepen overnight!
📝 Notes
- Want extra richness? Use chicken thighs instead of breasts
- For a lighter version, swap half-and-half for heavy cream
- Gluten-free lasagna noodles work beautifully
- Don’t overcook the noodles they’ll soften more as the soup sits
