What is Lasagna Soup?

Lasagna Soup is a type of soup that is made from layers of pasta, sauce, and cheese. The most popular version of lasagna soup is made with ground beef and sausage, but there are also vegetarian and vegan versions available. The noodles in lasagna soup are often pre-cooked and just need to be reheated in the soup before being served.

How to Make Lasagna Soup

In a large pot, add ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned and no pink remains.

Add in minced garlic and cook for about 4 minutes or until translucent. Add in the garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute. Drain excess fat.

Stir in the tomato paste and Italian seasoning until beef is well-coated in both. Add the tomatoes and broth and increase heat to medium-high.

Once the broth comes to a simmer, add the lasagna noodles and reduce heat back to medium. Cook noodles for about 8 minutes or until they reach your desired tenderness.

Stir in the heavy whipping cream and allow to cook for 3 more minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella and ricotta cheese. Garnish each bowl with a dollop of the cheese medley and optional basil or parsley.

Recipe Tips and Variations

• You can use ground turkey or Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
• Try other noodles like penne if you don’t have any lasagna noodles.
• Don’t over cook noodles to avoid getting too mushy.
• Add a little bit of heat with some red pepper flakes.
• Can be made without meat.

Can I Freeze Lasagna Soup?

Yes, you can freeze lasagna soup. I suggest only freezing the soup base and leaving out the noodles and cheese as they can get mushy after reheating.

Why is My Soup Runny?

If the soup is too runny add a little bit more heavy cream or 2 tsp cornstarch to thicken it.
