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.

Ingredients
Simple enough, the dough only takes 2 ingredients to make! It consists of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. You only need garlic, parmesan, butter, parsley, and salt to make that amazing garlic parmesan butter.
Making the Dough
Set oven to 400 F.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and greek yogurt. Mix with a spoon or fork until the flour and yogurt are incorporated.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface. With dry hands, knead into a smooth ball.
If the dough is sticky, sprinkle with a bit of flour as you’re kneading or rub some flour on your hands. It’s going to come together fairly quickly!
Tying the Knot
Once you’ve kneaded the dough into a smooth ball, divide it into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into strips and tie them into individual knots.
Be careful during this step – the dough is soft, so slow and steady will get you the best results!
I opted to just make 8 because I wanted them to be on the larger side but this will work with different counts as well.
Place each the knot into a lightly greased baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over each knot.
I like to use a baking dish just so I get that pull apart goodness when it’s time to serve. But the recipe will work great either way.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Liquid Gold
While the knots are baking to golden perfection, add the melted butter and garlic to a small bowl.
Next, mix in the parsley, parmesan cheese, and add a pinch of salt. Whisk ingredients together and set aside until you’re ready to serve.
Meet The Garlic Knots
Once the knots are golden brown and out of the oven, brush with the garlic parmesan butter and top with additional parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
