Lasagna Soup is a twist on a classic meat lasagna with all the same delicious comforting flavors in the form of a hearty soup. It's loaded with traditional ingredients like ground beef, lasagna noodles, cheese, and tomato sauce, and is topped with a ricotta-cheese mixture. It's flavorful, filling, and extra cheesy. Plus, this one pot Italian meal is easy to make ahead and reheats really well.

Why You’ll Love Lasagna Soup

• Classic lasagna flavors in a soup. There are lots of reasons to love lasagna soup — especially its flavor. This stand-out dish is an impressive and unique take on good old meat lasagna. It’s rich, hearty, and all made in one pot = less cleanup.
• Warm tomato-based broth. Made with chicken broth, tomato sauce, garlic, and herbs, this tomato-based broth is packed with flavor like a thick tomato soup.
• Three-cheese topping. The dollop of cheese on top of the soup made out of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan, is the icing on the cake. Fresh cheese atop a hot soup is a match made in heaven! But three types of cheese? That is goals.

Ingredients And Substitutions

To make this easy lasagna soup, you will need the following ingredients (full quantities in the recipe card below):

• olive oil
• ground beef - you can also make this soup with Italian sausage or ground turkey instead.
• onion
• garlic
• tomato sauce
• chicken broth - you can also substitute for vegetable broth or beef broth.
• seasoning - parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• lasagna noodles - lasagna noodles hold up great in a soup. In fact, they’re so good that you might decide to substitute next time you make a classic chicken noodle soup!
• cheese topping - made with 3 different types of cheese including ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

You will also need measuring cups and spoons, large pot (I used my 4 qt. Dutch oven), and mixing bowl.

How To Make The Best Lasagna Soup

1. Cook ground beef. Heat oil in a large pot or 4 qt. Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Make sure to break up beef into small pieces to help even browning.
2. Sauté aromatics. Add onion and garlic. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender.
3. Add seasoning and simmer. Add tomato sauce and chicken broth. Mix well and bring the meat sauce to a simmer. Stir in parsley and season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover the lid and let it simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add lasagna noodles. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm) according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

5. Make cheese topping. Combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan in a medium mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
6. Serve. Serve immediately with a dollop of the cheese mixture on top.
