This easy Lasagna Soup is an easy and flavorful comfort food idea for busy days. Ground beef and noodles are cooked together in tomato based soup, then topped with ricotta and Parmesan cheese.

Easy Italian dishes are always a favorite here, like my Creamy Tuscan Shrimp and Eggplant Lasagna.

LASAGNA SOUP

One pot meals are one of the easiest you can make. There is minimal prep and clean up afterward and since the ingredients are cooking together, the flavors are stronger and richer. This One Pot Lasagna Soup is so much easier to make than layering ingredients in a pan for a classic lasagna and then baking it. You won't also have a stack of dishes to clean. Everything cooks together in one Dutch oven. This rich and full of flavor Lasagna Soup is bound to become the meal your family asks for after a busy day this holiday season.

How to make Lasagna Soup?

  • Saute garlic and onions in olive oil. Add Italian seasoning and saute for 2 minutes, stirring often. I like to add seasoning to sauteing onion and garlic because I find that it really brings out the flavors.
  • Add ground meat and cook until done.
  • Add liquid ingredients, seasoning, diced tomatoes, and noodles. Simmer and cook until the noodles are done.
  • Top each bowl of soup with grated Parmesan cheese and dollops of ricotta cheese.

Lasagna Soup Ingredients (your shopping list):

  • olive oil
  • butter
  • ground beef or Italian sausage
  • onion
  • garlic
  • Italian seasoning
  • salt and black pepper
  • bay leaf
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • oven-ready style lasagna noodles
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 large can crushed tomatoes
  • vegetable stock
  • ricotta cheese
  • Parmesan cheese

Can I Freeze Lasagna Soup?

You can place all ingredients for the soup, except the noodles, and freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Cook Lasagna Soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add cheese just before serving.

Absolutely! Follow instructions in the recipe below, add an additional ½ cup of vegetable stock and set the timer to cook for 6 minutes. Once done, wait 2 minutes, then release the pressure.

  • 30 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat up olive oil and butter. Add garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes, stirring often, until onion is almost translucent. Add Italian seasoning and crushed red peppers. Saute for 1 minute. It should be fragrant.
  • Add ground beef and cook until done, stirring often.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, stock, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, bay leaf and noodles, broken into 1" to 2" pieces. Make sure no noodles are stuck together. Stir well.

Notes

For this recipe, I recommend and like to use oven-ready style lasagna noodles as they cook faster. Regular lasagna noodles will work too.

    Can this be made in a crock pot/slow cooker? If so what size would be best, and how long should it cook?
