🎉 Introduction
If you love the cozy comfort of creamy pasta and the indulgent layers of white lasagna, this White Lasagna Soup brings both worlds together in the most delicious way. Rich, velvety, and deeply satisfying, this soup combines tender lasagna noodles, flavorful chicken Italian sausage, aromatic garlic and onions, and a luxurious creamy broth loaded with cheese.

The chicken Italian sausage adds savory flavor without overpowering the delicate richness of the cream-based broth.
