How to Make Three Cheese Lasagna Soup
Step 1: Brown the Meat and Aromatics
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground meat and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is browned. Make sure to drain any extra fat. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it smells fragrant.
Step 2: Build the Soup Base
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken or beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender when you taste them.
Step 3: Finish with Cheeses
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated parmesan cheese until they are fully melted and make the soup creamy. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
📝 Final Note
This lasagna soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors come together. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

How to Make White Creamy Lasagna Soup
Step 1: Make the Cream Sauce Base
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a smooth paste (your roux). Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken slightly.
Step 2: Add Chicken and Lasagna Noodles
Bring the creamy base to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and the broken lasagna noodles. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir often to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Finish with Greens and Cheese
Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts and the grated parmesan cheese until it is fully melted. Season the soup with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve warm with extra cheese if you like.
📝 Final Note
For an extra layer of flavor, you can consider adding a small pinch of nutmeg to the creamy sauce. It complements the chicken and cheese beautifully in this white lasagna soup.
