High Fiber, High Protein White "Lasagna" Soup

Oct '25 • Recipes

OMG. I have been craving a good soup, so when I saw this recipe on tiktok... I knew I had to try it.

This recipe was pretty balanced already, but I wanted to swap out more indulgent items with more wholesome ones.

The creator of the recipe shows the instructions and ingredients in her posts, but here's what I subbed/added for more health benefits:

FOR THE SOUP:

did not add pancetta (why? I love the taste and flavor, but I felt the Italian sausage was giving enough protein and fat. They're both not the leanest option for protein)
used unsalted bone broth instead of regular broth (why? for more protein of course!)
instead of using 6 cups of broth, I only used 3 and decided to use just plain water for the rest of the liquid measurements (why? To keep sodium levels manageable)
I only added 1/2 cup of heavy cream (why? this recipe is already rich enough. That extra 1/2 cup can save you calories and heaviness)
used chickpea pasta noodles instead of lasagna noodles (why? to increase fiber and plant-based protein of course!)
I added spinach AND kale (why? for more micronutrients of course!)

FOR THE RICOTTA MIX:

instead of ricotta cheese, I used cottage cheese. I blended it in the blender to get a smooth texture (why? to get more protein of course!)
did not add mozzarella (why? I just didn't have any and it was still delicious without it)

Would highly recommend making it!!
