Lasagna Soup is a hearty and comforting twist on classic lasagna, featuring savory ground beef, tender pasta, a rich tomato-based broth, and plenty of melty cheese in a one-pot meal.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter version)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter option)

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

1/2 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 6-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for 10-12 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese and mozzarella. Stir the cheese mixture into the soup and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil, and extra mozzarella if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with plant-based protein or lentils.

To make it spicier, add diced jalapeños or more red pepper flakes.

Feel free to add more vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

For gluten-free, swap the pasta for gluten-free pasta.
