Print Recipe

A warm, comforting bowl of Easy Creamy Lasagna Soup that combines all your favorite lasagna elements into a creamy broth, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth (more if you want a thinner soup)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided or more to taste)
  • 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken into 2″ pieces)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, roughly 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned all over.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, dried oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the tomato basil pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles and remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream if using. For a thinner soup, add 1-2 cups of additional chicken broth at this point.
  7. Serve the soup into bowls, topping with dollops of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella and parmesan, and a handful of fresh basil. Enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with turkey or plant-based options. Serve with garlic bread or a Caesar salad for a complete meal.
