Lasagna Soup

Lasagna Soup is a delicious, hearty dinner for a chilly day. Ground beef, lasagna noodles, and all the classic lasagna seasonings in a rich tomato broth. Topped with a 3 cheese mixture that melts into the soup and makes it extra decadent. And it's ready in about 30 minutes!

We seem to have made it through Winter Storm Fern mostly unscathed. We pretty much only got ice but we have been stuck in the house for 4 days and will probably be stuck at least 1 more.

I've used the time at home to make soup. So far I've made Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Broccoli Soup and this Lasagna Soup. And then I've got one more planned for tomorrow.

If you love lasagna and soup, you'll definitely love this. It has all the components of classic lasagna but it a warm, comforting soup. It's a rich tomato broth filled with ground beef, lasagna noodles, and all the seasonings you're used to with lasagna. Plus it's topped with a 3 cheese mixture that melts into the soup and makes it extra delicious.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - you could always use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
• Onion and garlic
• Italian seasoning - you any mixture of basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and sage if you don't have Italian seasoning.
• Crushed red pepper flakes - this adds a little spice to the soup. You can adjust the amounts based on your preference.
• Marinara - use your favorite brand or homemade recipe. You can even use a tomato basil pasta sauce if you want a more herby flavor in your soup.
• Chicken broth - I recommend low sodium chicken broth. I like to use a homemade chicken bone broth.
• Lasagna noodles - you are going to break these up. I think I mostly broke them into 4s but you really just want bite-size pieces.
• Ricotta cheese - this is the base of the cheese mixture that goes on top. It's used in traditional lasagna so it's perfect for the topping.
• Mozzarella cheese - this really melts well so it adds a nice gooeyness when the cheese is mixed into the hot soup.
• Parmesan cheese - this adds a nice salty, nuttiness to the cheese mixture.

How To Make Lasagna Soup

• Cook meat. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add ground beef and onion. Cook until meat is cooked through and onion has softened.
• Add seasonings. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds.
• Add liquids. Add marinara and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add noodles. Add broken lasagna noodles and boil until the lasagna is al dente, about 10 - 12 minutes.
• Make cheese mixture. While lasagna is cooking, stir together ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
• Serve. Serve soup hot with a big spoonful of the ricotta mixture on top.

How Long Is It Good For?

Lasagna soup will be good for up to 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. And keep in mind that the pasta will likely continue to soak up liquid as it sits so you may need to add water or broth when you reheat it.

The cheese mixture should be stored separately in the refrigerator.

You can reheat the soup on the stove or in the microwave. The cheese mixture can be served straight from the fridge.

Can You Freeze Lasagna Soup?

You can freeze lasagna soup for up to 3 months. Let it cool compeletely and then transfer to an airtight container - I like these soup containers.

When you are ready to serve them, let them defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove or microwave. It will probably be very thick but a splash or water or broth should loosen it up.
