The Wedding Soup Lasagna is a delicious fusion recipe that combines the flavors of classic Italian Lasagna with the heartiness and comfort of Wedding Soup. It uses an easy-to-make meatball recipe along with shredded chicken to give the dish a hearty meaty texture. The lasagna noodles add a perfect balance of softness and chewiness to the dish. The cheesy layers of ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese give the dish a heavenly taste and texture. This recipe is great for family dinners, potluck parties, and meal-prep. The combination of the meatballs, shredded chicken, lasagna noodles, and cheese layered between a flavorful broth and escarole makes it a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add half of the onion and half of the garlic; cook and stir until onion is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add carrots; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add escarole and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until escarole is wilted, about 5 minutes.
3.Add chicken to the pot; cook until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pot and shred using 2 forks.
4.Mix ground meatloaf mix, bread crumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Form into meatballs.
5.Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining onion and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
6.Mix ricotta cheese, parsley, and cornstarch in a bowl.
7.Spread a thin layer of chicken soup mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Layer with 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the meatballs, and 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Repeat 2 more times, making sure lasagna noodles are the top layer. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
8.Cover baking dish with foil.
9.Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is brown and bubbly, about 10 minutes more.
