Hearty Lasagna Soup

Hearty soups are a miracle food. All of the yumminess, but less mess. This cheesy One Pot Lasagna Soup recipe is a fantastic way of having a delicious classic lasagna dinner without all the work and mess.

You don't even have to boil lasagna noodles!

Delicious soup recipes with tender noodles cooked al dente in a meaty sauce all in one pot is a miracle dish, to me.

Serve some crusty garlic bread and a crisp salad and you have a meal an Italian would be proud of (and everyone will eat!).

Testers Tips

Drop the rind of a parmesan cheese wedge into your soup while it's cooking to add some cheesy, delicious flavor! Save the parmesan cheese rinds for any soup like this!

Substitutions and Variations

This Easy Lasagna Soup is on of my family's favorite soups as written, but if you want/need to make some changes, go for it. Here are a few to consider:

• Vegetable broth, beef Broth, or bouillon instead of chicken stock works great.
• Skip the canned tomatoes and use your favorite jarred marinara sauce to cut cooking time down. No need to simmer the tomatoes for 45 minutes if you use your favorite pasta sauce instead.
• Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for ground beef.
• Substitute cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Use cheddar cheese or even vegan cheese!
• Mix up your pasta! Use any kind of pasta you want. Macaroni, broken spaghetti noodles, fettuccini noodles, rotini, etc.

Crockpot Lasagna Soup

After browning the meat, garlic, and onions in a large skillet, transfer to the Crock Pot and add the remaining ingredients setting the noodles, spinach, and cheese aside. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Add the noodles and cook for 30-45 minutes until the noodles are cooked through. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Serve with cheese.

STORAGE

Allow the soup to cool slightly, then put in a shallow airtight container to refrigerate for 3 to 5 days.
