Lasagna Soup Recipe
Description
The Lasagna Soup recipe turns classic lasagna ingredients into a hearty soup. Italian sausage is browned and seasoned with onion powder, garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper for a savory base. Tomato paste and roasted diced tomatoes add concentrated tomato flavor, combined with fresh basil and chicken stock to create a flavorful broth. Bowtie pasta, cooked separately, adds texture and sustenance.
A smooth cheese mixture of ricotta and Parmesan is prepared to provide creaminess when served. Individual bowls begin with a dollop of this cheese blend, poured over with hot soup and pasta, then garnished with shredded mozzarella and basil leaves. The soup balances the savory sausage, tangy tomato broth, and creamy cheese for a warming meal.
Leftover soup can be stored in airtight containers for up to 5 days and reheated on the stove or microwave. Note that pasta may absorb some broth upon storage, affecting texture. The base soup can be frozen separately from the pasta and cheese to maintain quality, with those components stored individually.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 4 teaspoons garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces diced roasted tomato canned
- 6 cups chicken stock or chicken broth
- ½ cup basil leaves
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 16 ounces bowtie pasta
- basil extra, for garnish
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese as garnish, shredded
- ¼ teaspoons salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Brown sausage in olive oil for 6-8 minutes. Add onion powder, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and stir.
- Add diced tomatoes, basil, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.
- In a small bowl, mix all cheese ingredients.
- When noodles are done cooking, strain and add to the soup.
- To serve, add a small dollop of the cheese mix to the bottom of your bowl and slowly add soup. Garnish with mozzarella and basil.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3 to 5 days, reheating on the stove or microwave as needed.
- Be aware that pasta may absorb broth over time, slightly changing texture upon reheating.
- Freeze the soup base separately from the pasta and cheese to preserve freshness; freeze pasta and cheese in separate containers or prepare them fresh as preferred.
