Butter Chicken Lasagna Soup
I have some exciting (and tasty) news! I’ve partnered with Patak’s Canada and Blue Dragon Canada as a Cultured Kitchen Ambassador for the next year. This means more recipes to create and share with all of you! If you aren’t familiar with Patak’s Canada or Blue Dragon Canada, head on over to their site to check them out. I have a feeling I’m going to learn a lot this year and am looking forward to what lies ahead.
Are you familiar with Diwali, the Indian festival of lights? This ancient Hindu festival is celebrated in the fall every year and is an integral part of Indian culture.
This will be my first year celebrating Diwali. We started out by creating a Rangoli, a pattern created with spices, rice, flower petals, etc. It is the traditional sign of Diwali and symbolizes good luck.
Patak’s Canada sent me this gorgeous wooden cutting board with a laser cut traditional Rangoli pattern already on it. All we had to do was create our design with some spices.
My youngest daughter and I worked on it using a variety of spices. I think we did a pretty good job for our first time ever making a Rangoli pattern!
It’s not perfect, but it’s made with love. I’ve set it up on the counter out of the way of my curious cats!
We’re also continuing our Diwali celebration by mixing in a little India! Patak’s Canada makes it easy with their selection of sauces. I revamped a family favourite recipe, Lasagna Soup, and created something new using a jar of Patak’s Butter Chicken Cooking Sauce.
I’ve eaten Butter Chicken the traditional way and love its exotic flavour. It tastes delicious served on rice. I was tempted to grab a quick spoonful out of the jar, but I made myself stop. I needed the whole thing for my recipe.
I’m calling this recipe Butter Chicken Lasagna Soup. It’s my lasagna soup with an Indian kick. It is DELISH!
Imagine tender chunks of chicken simmered in a flavourful tomato based broth. Add in two kinds of cheese and some noodles and you have Italy meets India! This recipe gave my Lasagna Soup a run for its money. I think I might even prefer this version better!
With temperatures cooling, it’s nice to be able to enjoy a big bowl of Butter Chicken Lasagna Soup. It warms me up and fills my belly!
It’s a good thing I have more Patak’s Butter Chicken Cooking Sauce in my pantry because I know I’ll want to make this again. I’m also thinking of other ways I can mix in a little India to our meals.

I made this soup today. I’d been given a restaurant bag of Butter Chicken. I used half the bag the other day, and had the remaining half to use up. I came across your recipe and thought I would give it a try. Not it wasn’t using Pataks, and everything was already in the mix. I added some onions, red peppers, fresh tomatoes and sauce and garlic. Simmered and then added the pasta. Once the pasta was cooked I also added squeezable basil. At this point it tasted fantastic. We didn’t eat it right away, and when I came back to it, the pasta had soaked up all the liquid. (I should have known better, and cooked the pasta separately and added into serving bowls when ready to eat.). Aside from this though, the flavour was great, and I would recommend others give it a try.
Can you substitute something for the butter chicken sauce, if it is not available ?
You could use Tikka Masala sauce or even just tomato sauce with some spices added to it.
that is such a gorgeous cutting board. sounds like a yummy recipe
Looks so delicious! Nice job on the pattern!

A soup sounds like a very interesting way to present lasagna flavors! I’m really curious to taste it!
That looks so delicious. This is the first time I heard about this sauce. I hope I can fins it here.
Soup is one of my favorite dishes when it starts to get cold! This one looks so yummy! I am going to have to make this very soon!
All the flavors in this soup really gives it a lot of color and flavor and I want to make this awesome soup for Fall. It is getting cold out and we need to eat hot soup to warm us up!
Lasagne soup. What a novel idea that I think will be delicious for dinner this fall as evenings turn cold and it gets dark outside early.
This sounds amazing and would be a great dinner for the winter time as well. I love the pattern that you made very pretty!
Ooh this would be a perfect soup for me. That cheese and those veggies? Yum! That sauce sounds really good!
I was a little hesitant and doubtful in the beginning but after reading the recipe and seeing the pictures, I am sold. This looks amazing. The weather is getting cooler … this will be perfect!
