Here’s a cozy and flavorful Lasagna Soup—all the flavors of lasagna in a comforting bowl. 🍲🧀
🍲 Lasagna Soup
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook Meat & Aromatics
- In a large pot, brown ground beef or sausage over medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic and sauté 2–3 minutes until softened.
2️⃣ Add Broth & Tomatoes
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken or beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer.
3️⃣ Cook Noodles
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup.
- Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
4️⃣ Add Cheese

- Spoon soup into bowls and top with dollops of ricotta, remaining mozzarella, and Parmesan.

💡 Tips
- For a creamier soup, stir ½ cup heavy cream into the soup before serving.
- You can prepare the soup ahead of time and reheat—add noodles fresh when serving if you want them firmer.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey for a lighter version.
If you want, I can also give a slow cooker version of lasagna soup that lets the flavors meld all day and makes weeknight dinner even easier. Do you want me to do that?
