Here’s a cozy, comforting twist on a classic: Lasagna Soup—all the flavors of traditional lasagna in a hearty, brothy soup. 🍲🧀🍅
🥘 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Soup Base
-
1 lb Ground Beef or Italian sausage
-
1 small onion, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 can (28 oz) Crushed Tomatoes
-
4 cups Chicken Broth or vegetable broth
-
1 tsp dried Oregano
-
1 tsp dried Basil
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
8 oz Lasagna Noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
Toppings
-
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
-
1 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
-
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the meat
In a large pot, brown ground beef (or sausage) with onions and garlic. Drain excess fat.
2️⃣ Add liquids & seasoning
Stir in crushed tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
3️⃣ Cook the noodles
Add broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook 8–10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4️⃣ Serve & top
Ladle soup into bowls.
Top each serving with a spoonful of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan, and fresh herbs.
🌟 Tips
-
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for mild heat.
-
Leftovers store well in the fridge—just reheat gently, adding a splash of broth if needed.
-
You can make it vegetarian by using Lentils or Mushrooms instead of meat.
If you want, I can also give you a “slow cooker lasagna soup” version that cooks all day and makes it super easy for weeknight dinners.
Do you want me to share that version?
