Soups On! Lasagna Soup

If you’re a fan of lasagna but want the comfort of a warm, hearty soup, you’re going to love this week’s recipe: Lasagna Soup! This dish has all the classic flavors of traditional lasagna—savory meat, rich tomatoes, creamy cheese—but in a bowl instead of on a plate. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a family favorite with a fun twist.



What I love about lasagna soup is how versatile it is. You can customize it to suit your tastes by adding more veggies, using different types of meat, or even swapping in gluten-free noodles. And the best part? It’s far easier to make than a layered lasagna, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.


Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad, and you’ve got a cozy, satisfying meal that’s sure to become a family favorite. Thank you to reader Melody Schwartz for contributing this recipe.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low & add lasagna noodles.

Cook, while stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

Add chicken broth* to reach desired consistency. Garnish with ricotta cheese, mozzarella, a dusting of parmesan and chopped fresh basil (if desired).


*If you like a creamier soup, add a little heavy cream at the end instead of extra chicken broth.*


Happy cooking,

Laura
