Why You’ll Love This White Lasagna Soup

Not only is this soup incredibly comforting, but it’s also:

• Quick and Easy: Ready in under 30 minutes, with minimal prep.

• One-Pot Wonder: Fewer dishes to wash, making it a practical choice for busy weeknights.

• Flavor-Packed: A blend of Italian seasoning, fresh thyme, and pesto adds depth to every bite.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 16 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 8 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces

• 4 cups baby spinach (one 5-ounce container)

• Ricotta cheese, for serving

• Pesto sauce, for serving

Directions

1. Sauté the Mushrooms:
   Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and turn golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.

2. Add Aromatics and Flour:
   Stir in the Italian seasoning and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, mixing well to coat the mushrooms evenly.

3. Build the Broth:
   Gradually add the vegetable broth, stirring as you go. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, approximately 10 minutes.

4. Incorporate the Cream and Noodles:
   Pour in the heavy cream and return the soup to a simmer. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until they are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

5. Finish with Spinach:
   Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat.

6. Serve:
   Ladle the soup into bowls and top with dollops of ricotta cheese and drizzles of pesto sauce.

Tips for the Perfect Soup:

• Mushroom Mix: Use a blend of cremini, shiitake, and white mushrooms for a richer flavor.

• Extra Creaminess: Add a handful of shredded mozzarella or Parmesan just before serving.

• Protein Boost: Stir in cooked chicken or white beans to make it even heartier.

Nutritional Perks

Mushrooms are a fantastic source of antioxidants and B vitamins, while spinach adds a dose of iron and vitamin K. Using a vegetable broth keeps this dish vegetarian-friendly, and swapping heavy cream with half-and-half can lighten it up without sacrificing the creamy texture.
