How to Make Creamy Seafood Lasagna Soup
Season and Sear the Shrimp
Add the cleaned shrimp to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and a touch of garlic. Mix well to coat evenly. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat with olive oil. Sear the shrimp on both sides for about one minute per side until lightly golden. Remove from the pot and set aside. This step adds flavor and keeps the shrimp juicy.
Build the Creamy Soup Base
In the same pot, add the minced shallots and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent. Deglaze the pot with seafood stock, scraping up all the flavorful bits from the bottom. Pour in the half and half and heavy cream, then season with oregano, thyme, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the Lasagna Noodles
Break the dried lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them directly to the soup. Cover and cook until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Finish with Seafood and Spinach
Once the noodles are tender, lower the heat and add the spinach, crab claw meat, jumbo lump crab meat, seared shrimp, and Parmesan cheese. Stir gently to combine and allow everything to warm through. The soup should be creamy, rich, and loaded with seafood.
How to Make Buttery Garlic Knots
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly flour your work surface and stretch the pizza dough into a small disk. Divide the dough into equal strips, stretch slightly, and tie each strip into a knot. Place the knots on a baking sheet with space between them. Bake until golden brown and cooked through.
While the knots bake, melt the butter with garlic, salt, and parsley until just melted and fragrant. Brush the warm knots generously with garlic butter and finish with freshly grated Parmesan.
How to Serve Seafood Lasagna Soup
Ladle the creamy seafood lasagna soup into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately with warm garlic knots on the side for dipping. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh when the broth is silky and the seafood is tender.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two days. Keep the garlic knots stored separately to maintain their texture.
To reheat, warm the soup gently over low heat on the stovetop, stirring often. Add a splash of cream or seafood stock if the soup has thickened. Avoid boiling to keep the seafood tender. Reheat garlic knots in the oven until warmed through.

Instructions
Seafood Lasagna Soup
- In a bowl, add the cleaned shrimp and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and a bit of garlic.
- Mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add some olive oil and sear the shrimp on both sides for 1 minute. This will add color and seal in the juices.
- Once seared, remove and set aside.
- To the same pot, sauté minced shallots and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the shallots start to become translucent.
- Deglaze the pan with seafood stock and scrape up the bits at the bottom of the pan. Add half-and-half and heavy cream.
- Season with oregano, salt, pepper, thyme, and tarragon. Continuously stir and bring to a boil. Then break up the dried lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the soup base. Cover and cook for 8-9 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
- Once al dente, add spinach, crab claw meat, jumbo lump crab meat, the cooked shrimp, and some Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and allow to cook over low heat for 7-8 minutes.
Buttery Garlic Knots

- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- To a bowl, add the unsalted butter, garlic, salt, and parsley. Microwave in 10-second intervals until the butter is just melted. Stir and set aside.
