LASAGNA SOUP RECIPE

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.

I’ve made this easy soup three times to get it just right. I’m telling you my kids licked their bowls. Even my 2-year-old. The whole family loves it.

lasagna noodles

The base of this delicious lasagna soup is made from tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce in a large pot. You could use crushed tomatoes if that’s what you have.

The coolest part about this lasagna soup is that you boil it all in one pot! I’m all about making your life easier.

broken lasagna noodles

Take regular lasagna noodles and break them into pieces. You want to break it into smaller pieces, about 1-1.5 inch pieces and toss them in the soup pot.

Remember they will expand when you cook them. To be honest, you could use any type of pasta.

But you must top it with this ricotta/Parmesan mixture. It’s the lasagna in this Lasagna Soup.

Y’all. Pictures don’t do this bowl of soup justice. It’s sooooo good with rich tomato broth and tender noodles. It’s like traditional lasagna but in soup form.

Top with fresh parsley or basil. Serve with garlic bread.

WHY USE A DUTCH OVEN FOR LASAGNA SOUP

I prefer to use a Dutch oven over a stock pot when making Lasagna Soup because it’s deep enough to hold all of my ingredients without feeling too high and the ceramic material ensures there’s even heating throughout.

You can also use a Dutch oven in the oven for other recipes, making it super versatile! I like this one from Calphalon because it’s high quality and less expensive than Staub or Le Creuset.

  • 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.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, and Italian seasonings. Bring mixture to a boil and stir in lasagna pieces. Reduce heat slightly and cook for about 10 minutes or until noodles are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, mixture together the ricotta, Parmesan, and salt.
  • To serve, spoon soup in a bowl and top with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh basil if desired. To eat, stir in cheese mixtures and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

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.
