How To Make Lasagna Soup
Please check the printable recipe card below for more detailed instructions.
- Saute Italian sausage and onions in olive oil until browned in a large pot or Dutch oven. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and seasonings.
- Add tomatoes, marinara, chicken broth, and bay leaf; bring to a boil.
- Add broken lasagna noodles; cook until al dente. Simmer and stir in the cheese mixture before serving. Season to taste with salt and garnish with fresh basil.
Recipe Success Tips
DRAIN THE FAT - Removing excess grease keeps the soup light yet flavorful.
PLANNING/MEAL PREP - If you need to make this ahead of time, cook your soup up until you need to add the noodles. When you are ready, bring your soup back to a boil, add your noodles, and continue with the directions remaining.
CHEESE - Freshly shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan make a difference. I used fresh Mozzarella and a block of Parmesan and hand-shredded it. It comes out so creamy, but you can use bagged Mozzarella or an Italian blend if you are in a pinch.
STIR FREQUENTLY - Ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
TASTE AS YOU GO - Adjust seasonings according to your preference.
Serving Suggestions
GARLIC BREAD - A classic side that never fails.
CAESAR SALAD - For a lighter accompaniment.
ROASTED VEGETABLES - Adds extra nutrients.
CORN ON THE COB - For a summer spin.
FRENCH BREAD - Another carb option, because why not?
Leftovers
STORE - When you want to store lasagna soup, transfer the leftovers into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
FREEZE - If you want to freeze it, you can cook it and add the noodles when you are ready to eat or add the noodles but not the cheese yet. You can freeze the lasagna soup for up to 3 months.
REHEAT - When ready, thaw it overnight and warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed.
