In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat, melt the butter and flour together. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add in the carrots, onions, garlic, italian seasoning, chili flakes, and nutmeg, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant.

Stir in the chicken broth, add the chicken thighs, and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes. Once tender, shred the chicken (this can be done in or out of the pot).

Bring the soup to a boil over high heat. Stir in the noodles, spinach, and half & half. Let cook until the noodles are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Lower the heat, then stir in the mozzarella, parmesan, and cream cheese. Carefully mix until thick, creamy, and fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, thin it with additional broth or water.

Allow the soup to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve hot!

How to Store

Fridge: Transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. The pasta will soak up the broth the longer you leave it, so you’ll need to add a bit of extra water, broth, or cream before reheating.
Freezer: Freeze without the noodles for the best texture. Store the soup base in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge, cook fresh noodles, and add them. If you freeze the pasta inside the soup, just know it’ll be softer after thawing.
Reheating: Warm it on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through. If you’re just heating up a bowl for lunch, pop it in the microwave in 1 to 2 minute bursts, stirring in between until hot.

Recipe Tips

Use a large lidded soup pot or dutch oven for this recipe. You’ll need lots of room for all the ingredients! 

Don’t panic if you don’t have lasagna noodles. You could try subbing them out for 2 cups fusilli, rotini, bow tie, etc. 

I just about always use freshly shredded cheese. It produces a creamier, more flavorful result. Don’t forget to add a little extra grated or shredded parm on top of your finished white chicken lasagna soup!

Cook the noodles separate if you want. That way you don’t have to watch them in the pot. Keep them al dente and add to each bowl when serving.

Serving Suggestions

Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?

Yep! Keep an eye on them so they don’t dry out, though. They cook fast.
