Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 16 ounces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thigh
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 cups Onion, chopped
- 1 cup Carrot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon White Miso Paste
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
- 1 ounce Fresh Poultry Herb Blend
- 6 cups Chicken Stock
- 1 cup Celery, sliced
- 1 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, chopped
- 4 ounces Fresh Lasagna Sheets
- 3 tablespoons Scallion, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken thighs evenly with kosher salt and black pepper. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the thighs from the pot and set aside.
- Step 2: Add the chopped onion, carrot, and white miso paste to the pot. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 3: Pour in the dry white wine and cook for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
- Step 4: Chop the browned chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them back into the pot. Tie the fresh poultry herb blend with kitchen twine to form a bouquet and add it to the pot along with the chicken stock, sliced celery, and chopped chicken breast.
- Step 5: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Step 6: Cut the fresh lasagna sheets into your desired shapes or strips.
- Step 7: Remove and discard the herb bouquet. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Add the fresh noodles and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the pasta is tender.
- Step 8: Before serving, sprinkle the soup with chopped scallions for a fresh, mild onion flavor.
Tips & Variations
- Use homemade chicken stock or a high-quality store-bought brand for the best flavor.
- If fresh lasagna sheets are unavailable, substitute with fresh pappardelle or fettuccine noodles.
- For a deeper flavor, roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup.
- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon or a dash of chili flakes for a flavor twist.
Storage
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a little water or stock as noodles tend to absorb liquid and thicken the soup. It is best to keep noodles separate if planning to store for longer periods.
How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Yes, you can substitute chicken breasts entirely, but thighs provide more flavor and tenderness. If using only breasts, watch the cooking time closely to avoid drying out the meat.
Can I prepare this soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the soup base and store it separately from the noodles. Add fresh noodles just before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Ingredients
Proteins
- 16 ounce Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thigh
- 1 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
Vegetables and Herbs
- 2 cup Onion, chopped
- 1 cup Carrot, chopped
- 1 cup Celery, sliced
- 1 ounce Fresh Poultry Herb Blend (thyme, parsley, rosemary, or similar)
- 3 tablespoon Scallion, chopped
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon White Miso Paste
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
- 6 cup Chicken Stock
Pasta
- 4 ounce Fresh Lasagna Sheets
Instructions
- Brown the Chicken Thighs: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season 16 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken thighs evenly with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables and Miso Paste: Add 2 cups chopped onion, 1 cup chopped carrot, and 1 tablespoon white miso paste to the pot. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors and soften the vegetables.
- Deglaze with Wine: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and cook for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits left from cooking the chicken. This adds depth to the soup flavor.
- Prepare Chicken and Herb Bouquet: Chop the browned chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and return them to the pot. Tie twine around the fresh poultry herb blend (approximately 1 ounce) to form a bouquet garni and add this bundle to the pot.
- Add Remaining Ingredients and Simmer: Add 6 cups chicken stock, 1 cup sliced celery, and the chopped boneless, skinless chicken breast (whole or cut into chunks) to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow all flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.
- Prepare Noodles: While the soup simmers, cut 4 ounces of fresh lasagna sheets into the preferred noodle shape and size.
- Finalize Soup: Remove and discard the herb bouquet from the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Add the fresh noodles to the soup and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
- Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the soup with 3 tablespoons of chopped scallions for a fresh and vibrant finish.
Notes
- Fresh lasagna sheets work best for the noodles, but fresh egg pasta or homemade noodles can be substituted.
- Use a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or pot to ensure even cooking and to develop good fond when browning the chicken.
- White miso paste adds a subtle umami and depth but can be omitted if unavailable; consider adding a little soy sauce for flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, add less chicken stock or cook a little longer to reduce the broth.
- The herb bouquet makes for easy removal of herbs while infusing the soup with fresh aromatic flavors.
- Adjust seasoning to taste at the end, especially after adding the noodles as they can absorb saltiness.
