Lasagna Soup transforms all the comforting flavors of classic lasagna into a hearty, one-pot soup. With rich tomato broth, savory meat, tender noodles, and a creamy cheese topping, it’s a cozy and satisfying meal that’s easier to make than traditional lasagna.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth or chicken broth
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef (or sausage) and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses together.
  7. Taste soup and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls, top with a dollop of the cheese mixture, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken.Cook noodles separately if you plan to store leftovers to prevent them from becoming mushy.Deglaze with a splash of red wine after browning the meat for deeper flavor.Freeze without noodles for up to 3 months, then add freshly cooked pasta when reheating.
