Step-by-Step: How to Make Creamy White Lasagna Soup

Prep Your Veggies and Protein

Grab your favorite soup pot and heat olive oil over medium heat. Add your sausage and break it up with a wooden spoon while it browns. Once cooked through, remove it with a slotted spoon and set it aside. In the same pot, toss in the diced onion and garlic. Sauté them in the leftover sausage fat for about 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Build the Flavor Base

Sprinkle in the flour and stir for about 1 minute to cook out the raw taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil this is where that creamy goodness starts to happen!

Noodle Time!

Toss in those broken lasagna noodles. Let them simmer in the broth until they’re just tender (around 10 minutes). Stir occasionally so nothing sticks.

Add Cream + Greens

Now lower the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Add the kale and give it all a good stir. Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the greens are soft and the soup has thickened just slightly.

Toss the sausage back in along with mozzarella and Parmesan. Stir until the cheese melts and makes the broth creamy and irresistible.

Soup Tips, Variations + Tricks

• Don’t want kale? Baby spinach or Swiss chard works beautifully.
• If you’re low on noodles, any short pasta can fill in try rotini or bowtie.
• Add a squeeze of lemon at the end for brightness.
• Avoid boiling the soup once you add the dairy keep it on low for a silky texture.
• Want to go meatless? Swap the sausage for sauted mushrooms or white beans.
