Lasagna Soup Recipe
Lasagna Soup recreates the flavors of classic Italian lasagna in a hearty soup form using Italian sausage, onions, garlic, tomato sauce and broth, and pasta cooked in the broth. A blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses is stirred in or dolloped on top to mimic the creamy cheese layers, delivering a comforting and warming dish reminiscent of traditional lasagna but quicker to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Italian sausage hot, sweet, or mild
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 4 cups beef broth
- 24 oz. pasta sauce jarred
- 14.5 oz. diced tomato petite, canned
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
- 8 oz. small curly pasta mafalda, cavatappi, rotini, etc.
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Place a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and onion. Break the sausage apart. Cook about 6 minutes, until the sausage is browned and onion is translucent. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the tomato paste and garlic. Cook one minute, stirring often.
- Add the beef broth, pasta sauce, petite diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir well. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Add the pasta. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
- As the soup cooks, add the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan to a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Serve each bowl of soup topped with a dollop of the mixed cheese.
Notes
- If using sausage links, remove the casing to crumble the meat for even cooking.
- Small curly pasta is preferred but breaking lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces is a suitable substitute.
