Print Recipe

A heartwarming and creamy lasagna soup that brings all the flavors of traditional lasagna into a cozy bowl of comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided or more to taste)
  • 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken into 2″ pieces)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute.
  2. Increase the heat and add the ground beef to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the dried oregano, tomato paste, and a bit of salt. Allow this to cook for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the tomato basil pasta sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the broken lasagna noodles and the remaining kosher salt. Cook for another 10-12 minutes until the noodles are tender.
  6. Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary.
  7. Gently spoon in the ricotta cheese. Sprinkle in the fresh basil and give it a gentle stir.

Notes

This soup can be frozen; just omit the cream and cheese before freezing to maintain the texture. Feel free to customize with vegetables or switch up the proteins to suit your taste.
