This Easy Lasagna Soup combines all the cheesy, savory flavors of a classic lasagna in a comforting, one-pot soup. The rich tomato broth, hearty noodles, and a generous blend of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan create a luscious, satisfying dish. A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley adds a burst of color and a hint of freshness, making each bite feel like a warm hug.
- Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage (or a combination)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef (or sausage) over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
- While the soup is simmering, in a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Set aside.
- Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the cheese mixture until the soup becomes creamy and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
