Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey, or a plant-based ground alternative
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth, divided
  • 2 cups water
  • 12–15 lasagna noodles, broken into 2–3 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus extra for serving
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken or turkey (if using). Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink. Transfer the meat to a separate plate, leaving any rendered fat in the pot.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the finely diced yellow onion to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the softened onions. Stir constantly for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Pour in 6 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and 2 cups of water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for at least 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld for this White Lasagna Soup base.
  6. Add the broken lasagna noodle pieces to the simmering broth. Stir gently to ensure they are submerged and don’t stick together. Increase the heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions, or until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. While the pasta cooks, combine softened cream cheese and whole milk ricotta cheese in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork or whisk until relatively smooth.
  8. Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream. Then, add the cream cheese and ricotta mixture, spoonful by spoonful, whisking constantly until fully incorporated and smooth for a creamy White Lasagna Soup.
  9. Stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue to stir until all the cheese has melted beautifully into the soup.
  10. If you set aside the cooked ground chicken or turkey, add it back into the pot. Stir to ensure the meat is evenly distributed throughout the creamy, cheesy soup.
  11. Add the roughly chopped fresh spinach to the pot. Stir it in gently; the heat from the soup will quickly wilt the spinach (1-2 minutes).
  12. Taste the White Lasagna Soup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  13. Ladle generous portions into bowls. Garnish each bowl with an additional sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, and fresh chopped basil or parsley. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil can also be added.
