Soup Ingredients
Lasagna is classic homey comfort food that everyone loves. Putting it in soup form is absolutely irresistible!
Lasagna Noodles: This keeps this dish classic! Break up the noodles into bite-sized pieces so that you can have some n every bite! Oil: Olive Oil is a classic in Italian cooking.Onion: Chop the onion up into small pieces so that the flavor gets distributed throughout the dish. Ground Beef: You can also use ground turkey or ground sausage, depending on what you prefer. Garlic: I like to use fresh, but garlic from a jar will also work in a pinch. ½ a teaspoon of minced garlic equals about one clove of garlic. Oregano: This is the must-have spice in lasagna!Tomato Paste: The tomato paste adds richness and depth to the tomato flavor.Chicken Broth: You can also use beef or vegetable broth in lasagna soup! Crushed Tomatoes: If you want bigger pieces, you can use diced tomatoes, but my kids like them small.Chopped Fresh Basil: Fresh basil add such a nice bright flavor.Grated Parmesan: Parmesan adds a delicious flavor and texture. Heavy Cream: You can also use half and half. check out my half and half recipe so that you don’t have to run to the store!
Putting Lasagna Soup Together
Noodles: I cook the noodles separately to keep them from getting overly cooked and mushy. Add the noodles to the soup right before serving. The soup can sit on the stove for a while simmering, but don’t add the noodles till right at the end.Cook in the Soup: You can cook the noodles in the soup. Add them once you bring the broth to a simmer. Add one extra cup of water to compensate for what the noodles absorb.Meat: Use your favorite type of meat here. Italian sausage, spicy sausage or ground pork, turkey, chicken, and beef all will work in this recipe.Cheese: Feel free to add different cheeses to garnish. Romano, asiago, or mozzarella are all favorites.Mix up the Pasta: Don’t have lasagna noodles? Don’t fret. You can use any type of pasta to make this soup. Use whatever you have on hand.
In the Refrigerator: If you know you’re going to have leftovers keep your noodles separate from the rest of the soup so that the noodles don’t soak up extra broth and become super soft and mushy. Store the soup and pasta in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.In Freezer: Lasagna soup also freezes well. Again store the soup and noodles separately in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnightTo Reheat: Warm up the soup in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Once heated through you can stir in the noodles and heat thoroughly, about 5-10 minutes.
