Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Soup is the coziest, creamiest and heartiest soup! Topped with ricotta cheese and packed with veggies, it’s always such a hit with the family. The best part is how quick and easy it is to toss together!
What’s in Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Soup?
Tender shredded chicken is served in a creamy, garlicky soup with silky lasagna noodles and various veggies with a dollop of ricotta on top… I might just be drooling.
- Lasagna: You can use any cut of pasta in place of broken lasagna noodles.
- Chicken Broth: Make this lasagna soup the absolute best it can be with homemade chicken broth!
- Spinach: You can swap this with kale if preferred.
Can I boil the pasta in the soup?
If you are pressed for time you can simmer the noodles with the soup. Add 1 extra cup of broth or water to make up for what the noodles will absorb. They’ll likely take about 12–14 minutes to cook with soup.

How to Store and Reheat
Refrigerate for up to 4 days. The pasta may soak up some of the liquid, you can adjust by adding more broth. Also, if you are making ahead of time it would be a good idea to boil the lasagna noodles separately and then add them before eating.
To reheat your leftovers, simply microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time it stops until warmed all the way through.
How to Freeze
The soup will freeze great without the pasta or cheeses mixed in. Freeze cheeses and pasta separately (lightly rinse pasta, drain then drizzle and toss with a little oil so it doesn’t stick excessively).
Notes from the Test Kitchen
You can save some time by using leftover chicken if you happen to have some! We usually make a big batch of Crockpot shredded chicken or Instant Pot shredded chicken at the top of the week so we can use it in recipes like this one.
