Description

Lasagna Soup is a hearty, one-pot twist on the classic Italian dish, featuring ground beef, tomatoes, savory herbs, and pasta in a rich tomato broth. Topped with creamy ricotta, melty mozzarella, and fresh parsley, it delivers all the comfort of lasagna without the layering or baking.

1 large onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Sauté ground beef, onion, and garlic until the meat is browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and uncooked pasta.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring often, until pasta is tender.
Adjust consistency with additional water or broth as needed.
Serve hot with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley either stirred in or sprinkled on top.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey, chicken, or Italian sausage for ground beef.
For a vegetarian version, replace meat with mushrooms or lentils and use vegetable broth.
Use penne, rotini, or broken lasagna noodles in place of bowtie pasta.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Stir in heavy cream before serving for a creamier texture.
For meal prep, store pasta separately to avoid it becoming mushy when reheated.
