- Mushrooms - may use the white or crimini variety. We used the brown mushrooms.
- The basil and the oregano seasoning is of the dried variety.

🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making Creamy White Lasagna Soup with Spinach and Mushroom Recipe.
Absolutely! You can use any other type of pasta that you enjoy the most. Mafalda Corta pasta looks just like miniature lasagna sheets.
No. This recipe calls for the lasagna noodles to be cooked in the soup mixture. If you cook the noodles separately, the pasta will become too soggy and mushy by the time the soup is served.
This lasagna soup is thickened by a flour and milk roux. The roux is added to the soup towards the end of the cooking time.
Yes, but I recommend doing so before you add the lasagna noodles since the noodles can deteriorate from the freezing and thawing process.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- Feel free to use white or whole grain lasagna noodles for this soup. Whole grain pasta does absorb more liquid and will take longer than the white variety to cook.
- Reheat leftover lasagna soup on the stove top over a medium-low heat until heated through.
- If you do cook your lasagna noodles separately, add them to the soup just before serving otherwise they will become too soft.
📚 Variations
- Make gluten-free white lasagna soup using gluten-free lasagna noodles and cornstarch instead of regular flour.
- Use any type of ground sausage meat that you enjoy the most. You could even opt for ground chicken or turkey sausage instead of the popular pork and beef sausage.
- Add a kick of heat to this soup by using spicy Italian sausage and increasing some cayenne pepper or paprika as part of the seasoning.
- Make this soup vegetarian by omitting the sausage and adding in extra vegetables.
🥫 Storage
This white lasagna soup can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days. This soup could also be stored in the freezer for 1-3 months although the lasagna noodles do risk disintegrating as a result of becoming overly soft from the soupy mixture.
