Creamy White Lasagna Soup
This lasagna soup is a twist on traditional lasagna. It’s so easy to whip up with simple everyday ingredients. It takes just 25 minutes to make and is filling enough to count as a full meal.
Making a hearty soup is great for chilly days. But I have found myself making this anytime I’m craving comfort food and it totally hits the spot.
Ingredients/shopping list
Italian Sausage – I used Italian sausage for this, but you can swap with ground beef, ground turkey, diced boneless chicken thighs or breasts, etc.
Vegetables – Carrots, onion, celery, garlic, and kale are used for really enhancing the soup.
Italian seasoning – This will give your soup more Italian flavor next to the Italian sausage.
Butter – The butter is going to help with making the roux.
Flour – The flour is going to be the thickening agent for the soup.
Lasagna Noodles – You will want to break up the noodles into 4 pieces.
Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is used to help offer the creamy broth to the soup. It will richen the flavor too. You can also use whole milk or even low fat milk.
Cheese – I used shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese for this lasagna soup. You could use just one type of cheese but I loved both it enhanced the flavor even more.
Variations/ Substitutions
1. Use fresh spinach in replace of kale.
2. Make a creamy chicken lasagna soup by adding in pre-cooked shredded chicken, diced or ground chicken instead of Italian sausage.
3. Add red pepper flakes to spice up the soup.
4. Change up the fresh veggies used in the soup – bell pepper, yellow onion, zucchini, etc.
5. Instead of heavy cream, use a block of cream cheese.
6. If you use low-fat milk or non-dairy milk, add an extra tablespoon of flour to thicken it a little more.
