Tips To Make This Easy Lasagna Soup

- Add more vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, spinach or kale.
- Use your favorite pasta in place of the lasagna noodles.
- Use roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic for a rich, mellow flavor.
- Use low fat cream cheese and half and half to reduce the calories and fat in the final dish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chop up leftover chicken breast or add shredded rotisserie chicken to make this an even easier meal.
Yes. Begin by cooking the chicken and vegetables in a skillet,, adding the flour, and cooking for a minute or two. Transfer everything to the crockpot along with the chicken broth and seasonings. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high. 30 minutes before serving, stir in the noodles, cream cheese and heavy cream. Cover and check the noodles for doneness in 15 minutes.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave. Top with fresh cheese before serving.
I love to freeze soups, but this soup has both cream cheese and heavy cream which can cause some weird textural things when frozen. If you wish to freeze this soup, leave out the cheese and cream and add it when you reheat the soup. Without the dairy, this soup can be frozen for up to 3 months.
This white lasagna soup is filling on its own but can be paired with Cheesy Pesto Breadsticks or Sweet Hawaiian Rolls to make it a complete meal.
