This lasagna soup recipe is super flexible! Let’s look at the ingredients you’ll need and some substitutes.

I use ground beef and Italian sausage for the meat. You can change these to turkey or chicken sausage if you like. The base has onion, garlic, marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste for a rich taste.

Lasagna noodles are key, cut into small pieces. You can use other pasta shapes if you have them. I simmer everything in chicken broth, but you can use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.

Herbs and spices (Italian seasoning, basil, oregano)
Heavy cream for richness

My secret tip: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick that brings all the flavors together.

Instructions

Let’s make this tasty lasagna soup! First, I heat a big pot on medium-high heat. Then, I brown the meat, breaking it up as it cooks. This takes about 5-7 minutes and makes the soup rich.

Next, I cook onion and garlic until they’re soft and smell great. The kitchen smells amazing! After that, I add sauce and spices. I use crushed tomatoes, broth, and Italian herbs. The mix smells so good.

Then, I bring the mix to a boil and reduce the heat. I simmer it for about 20 minutes. This lets all the flavors blend well. In the last 10 minutes, I add lasagna noodles to the pot. They cook in the soup, getting all the flavors.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

I love make-ahead meals, and this lasagna soup is perfect for that! You can prep everything up to adding the noodles, then pop it in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just heat it up and toss in the pasta. It’s a great time-saver for busy weeknights.

Freezing lasagna soup is easy. Just leave out the noodles and cheese, and it’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, thaw it out and add fresh noodles as you reheat. It’s like having a homemade meal on standby!

For storage tips, keep your leftover soup in the fridge for 3-4 days. When reheating, you might need to add a splash of broth to loosen it up. I find that using a large Dutch oven for cooking gives the best results. It distributes heat evenly and makes cleanup a snap.

Remember, these simple tricks can turn your lasagna soup into a convenient, delicious meal any day of the week. Happy cooking!
