Heat one tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Add the stock and bring to a light boil. Once boiling, add the lasagna noodles, nutritional yeast, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until noodles are tender, and then reduce heat to low.
Prepare the vegan chicken while the noodles cook: Melt one tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and fry for 7 minutes, tossing occasionally.
Blend or whisk the milk and cream cheese together until no lumps remain. Gently stir this into the soup.
Add the spinach and continue to cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
Prepare the pesto oil: Blend all ingredients in a small blender until smooth.
Serve soup topped with vegan chicken, pesto oil, and dairy-free parmesan.
