White Chicken Lasagna Soup (Print Format)

Comforting soup with tender chicken, lasagna noodles, broccoli, and parmesan in a creamy broth.

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 5 tbsp salted butter, divided (1 tbsp for searing chicken, 4 tbsp for roux)
04 - 1 yellow onion, diced
05 - 1 carrot, diced
06 - 2 celery ribs, diced
07 - 6–7 garlic cloves, minced
08 - 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
09 - 6 cups chicken broth
10 - 2 cups heavy cream
11 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
12 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
13 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
14 - 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
15 - 3 cups chopped fresh broccoli
16 - 10 lasagna sheets, broken into small pieces
17 - 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
18 - Salt to taste
19 - Pepper to taste

# Steps:

01 - In a large soup pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with a seasoning blend or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, until fully cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same pot, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon each). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and aromatic.
03 - Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the flour and stir constantly to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook the roux for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
04 - Gradually pour in the chicken broth, about 1 1/2 cups at a time, whisking as you go to prevent clumping. Once all the broth is incorporated, stir in the heavy cream. Season the base with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and Herbs de Provence.
05 - Bring the soup to a gentle boil. Add the chopped broccoli and broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
06 - Once the noodles are tender, lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until fully melted and smooth. Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Stir to combine and taste to adjust salt and pepper if needed.
07 - Serve hot and enjoy your white chicken lasagna soup.
