Lasagna Soup Pin

All the delicious flavors of a traditional Lasagna – packed into one easy soup! Made in one single pot on the stove, this is a cozy and satisfying family meal you’ll absolutely love!

I can hardly be the only person who loves lasagna… But doesn’t really love making it all that much. Most certainly not during a regular week! That’s where Lasagna Soup comes to the rescue – same flavors, a fraction of the work and dishes!

My lasagna soup uses Italian sausage AND lean ground beef for that perfect balance between flavor and protein. I also pack in some celery and carrot for that veggie boost. Serve with a spoonful or seventeen of Ricotta 😉 and dinner is done in a snap!

Ingredients you’ll need

Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities!

ingredients for lasagna soup with text labels
Ingredients for Lasagna Soup: Olive oil, ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, garlic, celery, carrot, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pasta, ricotta, salt and pepper.

Ingredient notes

  • Meat: Feel free to use all sausage, or all ground beef. For a leaner version, choose ground turkey.
  • Make it meatless: Leave out the meat, and instead stir in 1 can of rained and rinsed lentils along with the pasta. If you don’t like lentils, try adding 8-oz very finely chopped mushrooms with the vegetables.
  • Beef broth: Chicken or vegetable broth are good substitutes if you’re out of beef broth.
  • Pasta: I like to use a pasta type Calle “Mafalde Corte”, they have those wriggly edges that make them look like lasagna noodles. It cooks faster and is easier for the kids to eat. Plus… No pasta breaking to be done, for the extra-lazy among us 😉 Feel free to use any short pasta shape you have on hand, just make sure you check the cooking time on the package and adjust accordingly.

How to make Lasagna Soup

1. Brown both meats, breaking them up as they cook. Make sure to remove the sausage casing before adding them to the pot!

2. Then add veggies and sauté until softened.

3. Stir in tomato paste and Italian herbs.

4. Add broth, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce and simmer until the vegetables are tender.

5. Add pasta into the simmering soup, a bit more broth and simmer until the pasta is done.

6. Serve with a dollop of ricotta and a bit of parmesan cheese!

Recipe tips

  • Make sure to brown the meats properly for maximum flavor. Do not be afraid to add a little color, that’s how the soup turns out best!
  • Equally, make sure to sauté the vegetables until they’re softened. That way, they taste best in the soup.
  • Feel free to add more or less broth, depending on if you like your soups very brothy or more like a stew. Just be careful, if you add very little broth, it turns into a skillet lasagna.
  • Feel free to serve your soup with whatever soft cheese you enjoy – ricotta, goat’s cheese, even just a spoonful of whipped cream cheese is nice. Parmesan shavings are a must for us, but the fresh parsley is usually reserve for photos only 😉

Serving ideas

The great thing about this soup: It’s a meal all by itself!

If you want to add some greens on the side, try a tossed salad with balsamic vinaigrette.

If you want to make a side of garlic bread, I recommend whipping up a batch of no knead French bread to be slathered in garlic butter!

    Love this recipe! I boiled the noodles separately to accomodate being GF and it was a delicious vegetable beef/tomato soup. My husband had the soup with noodles and was equally impressed. Thanks for the recipe.
