Lasagna Soup Recipe
Hubby doesn’t wait for cooler months to make soup. He has it all year round and especially loves hearty soups that are a simple recipe, like this one. Easy recipes are a cook’s best friend!
All the scents and flavors of lasagna are present in this delicious soup.
If your family likes the flavor of lasagna, your whole family will love this delicious lasagna soup. It is simple to make and is oh so satisfying on cold winter nights. You will want to add this easy lasagna soup recipe to your regular rotation of soups that you make. It is the perfect comfort food in soup form.
Tips and variations for making this lasagna soup recipe:
● Instead of using the assortments of dried herb, add about 1½ tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
● Use a combination of hot and sweet Italian sausages! Spicy sausage or mild sausage, use what you and your family prefer.
● Don’t like sausage? Use ground beef or ground turkey.
● Beef broth or beef stock may be used.
● Instead of pounding fresh garlic cloves, use already minced garlic in a jar!
● The noodles will get soggy as it sits in the hot soup. Hence the soup is ladled over the noodles, just before serving. Also, store leftover noodles and the soup separately to avoid soggy noodles.
● If you are planning to serve it to a large crowd and there will not be any leftovers, feel free to add the cooked noodles to the soup directly, after it had done simmering.
● You can also add uncooked noodles to the soup too. You add it just before the soup begins to simmer. In that case, please add 2 extra cups of beef broth.
● If you do not have lasagna noodles on hand, try ziti, fusilli, farfalle, etc. Use the kind of pasta your family likes best.
● This soup recipe uses common ingredients found at your local grocery store.
● Allowing the noodles to sit in the broth can turn the noodles mushy. If you plan on freezing this soup, do not add the noodles to the soup, freeze it alone. Whenever you freeze soup make certain you use freezer grade containers. Hubby buys them in giant packs, and we keep the extras down in the basement. Our freezer sometimes looks like a frozen soup factory exploded in it. We freeze soup, stews, leftovers, garden vegetables, etc for later use all year long!

What a clever idea! I thought lasagna rolls were innovative. I never would have thought to do this but it’s a great idea! Who doesn’t love lasagna? And, who doesn’t love a hearty, tomato-based soup? This is one I definitely have to give a try. I love this idea in place of chili to serve to a group of people. Thanks for sharing!
