Lasagna Soup
Description
Lasagna Soup distills lasagna into a hearty soup by cooking ground beef with garlic and onions, then adding crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful base. Broken lasagna noodles are simmered in the broth until tender, absorbing the rich tomato flavors. The soup is seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and can be thinned with additional water or broth if needed.
The soup is served hot with dollops of ricotta, parmesan, and shredded mozzarella cheeses added individually to each bowl, melting slightly into the broth and noodles, adding creaminess and richness reminiscent of baked lasagna. Chopped parsley or basil finishes the dish, providing fresh herbal notes.
This recipe comfortably serves six and can be a satisfying meal that captures lasagna’s flavors with less time and effort. The soup format is easier to prepare and cleanup is simpler than traditional layered lasagna. Adjust seasoning levels and noodle cooking time as preferred to achieve desired consistency and taste.
