Lasagna Soup
This easy Lasagna Soup recipe is one of my favorite soups! Imagine a soup with beef, garlic, onion, and tomato sauce with tender lasagna noodles throughout. The ricotta cheese topping is what makes this Lasagna Soup taste exactly like lasagna. Stir it in for lasagna in a bowl! Not to mention it’s all done in one pot! Healthy too. Only 322 calories per serving…
LASAGNA SOUP
It’s not that often that I get really excited to share soup (except this one).
Of course the chocolate and peanut butter desserts always get all of the attention and if I could feed my family on those desserts alone I would.
But apparently that’s frowned upon so I’m always searching for dinner ideas.
It was a pleasure to partner with BelGioioso cheese for this post. I love their cheeses and they let me create whatever I wanted with them.
I’ve made this Lasagna Soup three times to get it just right. I’m telling you my kids licked their bowls. Even my 2-year-old.
The coolest part about this lasagna soup is that you boil it all in one pot! I’m all about making your life easier. Take regular lasagna noodles and break them into pieces. You want them fairly small, about 1-1.5 inch pieces. Remember they will expand when you cook them.
Then dump them in.
Ten minutes later, it’s time to eat.
But you must top it with this BelGioioso ricotta/Parmesan mixture. It’s the lasagna in this Lasagna Soup.
Y’all. Pictures don’t do this lasagna soup justice. It’s sooooo good.

This easy Lasagna Soup recipe is one of my favorite soups! Imagine a soup with beef, garlic, onion, and tomato sauce with tender lasagna noodles throughout.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef

- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

- 4 cups (32 ounces) low sodium beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 6 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into 1 1/2 inch pieces (about 6-8 ounces; see Note)
- 8 ounces (1 cup) BelGioioso ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, brown beef and onion over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30-60 seconds. Drain.

- To serve, spoon soup in a bowl and top with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil if desired. To eat, stir in cheese mixtures and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
You can use any small shaped pasta in place of the lasagna noodles just use about 2 1/2 cups. The lasagna noodles really give it that authentic texture.
Also, if you are making ahead of time it would be a good idea to boil the lasagna noodles separately and then add them before eating. The lasagna noodles really soak up the liquid if they sit in the soup for a while. You can add some beef broth if you need to thin it out.
Is there anything i can use to substitute for ricotta cheese? The kids do not like it and I would love to make this recipe
Ricotta is kind of an essential to lasagna but you could use cream cheese or sour cream.
The easiest best soup ever! Will be enjoying it frequently.
Thank you!
Easy to make. Delicious! Family of picky eaters want it added to our recipe list.
Awesome to hear that!
Christy! This is so good!
I used ground turkey so I threw in some extra garlic cloves (I don’t really like turkey). Even my non soup eating family loved it.
Every recipe of yours I make is always a hit and always delicious! Thank you!
Thank you Janie. That means a lot to me!
I was really disappointed in this soup 🙁
I saw this recipe and couldn’t wait to try it. It looks so good and sounds good but we did not think it tasted good at all. It was edible but far from good. I wasted a lot of food unfortunately.
Well that is unfortunate to hear. We we love it.
Brilliant soup! <3 Absolutely delicious!
Thank you!
This stuff is great!!
Thank you!
Passionate!!
How could you adapt this to a slow cooker?
I’m sure you could but I have not tried it.
Yummy recipe, and really easy to make! Next time I’ll add veggies like zucchini, peas, or spinach. I love veggie lasagna so it makes sense I’d like veggie lasagna soup 🙂
That would be great!
I won’t be making a mistake by telling you how surprise i was visiting this blog of such cool info plus quality photos backup. This must have taken much of your time putting together!
Thank you!
That’s looks like so Yummy !
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the recipe! My kids love Lasagna so I think they will love this lasagna soup as well! Gotta try it at home.
I think they’ll love it.
Hello, this looks really good and since you said we must use the BelGioioso ricotta cheese I wanted to ask where you buy it. I didn’t see anywhere on their website indicating a “where to buy” section. I am in San Diego
You’re totally right. They don’t sell it online. I would check your local grocery store. You can use other ricotta but I do prefer BelGioioso.
Could I sub cottage cheese for ricotta?
Sure! Ricotta has a distinct lasagna taste so I definitely prefer it.
Single dad, I made this soup for me and my daughter. Dope! She was really impressed. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome Tommy!! Glad you loved it!
look like beef curry….. amazing soup i ever seen i my life :v
Thank you!
hey girl this looks awesome!
Thanks Shawnna!
I am definitely making this soup. It is lower in sodium than most I have seen. Thanks for adding the
nutrition it really helps when you have certain restrictions.
You’re welcome!
Okay I have seen (and made) quite a few lasagna soup but this one totally wins. Ricotta parmesan topping??? YUS.
Yes! It makes the soup!
