    This lasagna soup is an easy soup recipe! This is the best lasagna soup recipe because it's simple but delicious. It has all of flavors of a pan of lasagna in a hearty, comforting soup.

    Is there any wrong way to eat lasagna? The flavors are so amazing that it makes a great dip, is fantastic as roll-ups, and can even make a simple 30 minute skillet dinner.

    This lasagna soup takes all of those great flavors and turns it into a hearty, comforting soup that's perfect for chilly nights. The soup is also simpler and easier to make than a pan of lasagna.

    So, it's a great way to enjoy lasagna without all the work!

    How To Make Lasagna Soup

    Dutch oven with cooked Italian sausage in it

    Heat a large pot over medium heat. I like to use an enameled cast iron Dutch oven.

    Drain all but 1 tablespoon of grease and return the sausage to the pot. Add the diced onion, and cook until softened. Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning.

    Add the tomato paste and cook until it is a deep rust color. Stir in the diced tomatoes with juices and chicken stock. Bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add pasta, and cook until al dente. Don't overcook or the pasta will be mushy.

    Tips For Making Perfect Lasagna Soup

    This soup can easily be customized to suit your tastes.

    • Spicy: To make the soup spicier, use hot Italian sausage and add red pepper flakes to taste.
    • Creamy: Add ¼ cup heavy cream for a richer, creamier soup.
    • Cheesy: Top the soup with ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, or all three.

    How To Serve

    I serve this soup topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese, and a little fresh basil on top. If you like your soup on the cheesier side, serve it topped with grated mozzarella cheese.

    What To Serve With This Soup

    I serve this soup with the same sides that I serve lasagna with - my quick homemade garlic knots, easy homemade garlic breadsticks, or a simple green salad.

    Notes

    1. Mild or hot Italian sauage will work. You can also use turkey Italian sausage if you prefer. 
    2. Or chicken broth. I prefer to use reduced-sodium chicken broth so that I can control the sodium if I use broth.
    3. Or another type of shaped pasta. 
    4. Nutrition values are estimates.

      Used ground beef, as we aren’t big on sausage with pasta. Very good, will make again. I used elbow pasta as that is what I had on hand. More of a goulash this way, but flavors were wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!!

        I hear you! I'm excited for cooler weather, too. Thank you! Yes! Hot sausage and even a bit of red pepper flakes would add a great little kick. Thanks for commenting!

        I was feeling adventurous so decided to try this soup. Tasted like lasagna, but oh so much easier than making a pan of lasagna. I used hot sausage and spiral pasta since I couldn’t find mafalda pasta. Success!
