I had never heard of Lasagna Soup, so as soon as I heard about this recipe, I had to try it. Imagine a bowl of creamy tomato broth with cut-up lasagna noodles, ground beef, and melted cheese that’s way easier to make than the traditional lasagna recipe. A winner!

Ingredients For Lasagna Soup

• Olive oil. I recommend not using extra virgin olive oil. Light olive oil is better for sauteing and extra virgin is better for salads.

• Onion and garlic. Use yellow or white onions and chop them finely. Garlic should be minced.

• Ground beef. I prefer using lean ground beef to avoid the extra fat.

• Italian seasoning. If you don’t have any, you can substitute with 1 tsp oregano and 1 tsp basil.

• Ground cinnamon is a secret ingredient I add to all my Italian meat sauces. Just a pinch is enough!

• Marinara sauce. Use your favorite store-bought brand.

• Low-sodium beef broth is the base for the soup.

• Crushed tomatoes to give the broth a tomato base that mimics lasagna sauce.

• Broken-up lasagna noodles or Mafalda noodles if you can find them. They are like mini lasagna noodles.

• Heavy cream or half & half for a lighter version to provide creaminess to the soup.

• Mozzarella cheese. I recommend buying a brick of cheese and shredding it yourself.

• Salt and pepper to taste. Always add salt at the end. You can add salt to the ground beef to flavor it, but add salt to the soup at the end. Remember that while it simmers and liquid evaporates, it can become saltier.

How To Make Lasagna Soup

    1. Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the oil. Saute the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add the ground beef and cook until brown, crumbling it as it cooks, around 4-5 minutes.

    2. Pour in the marinara sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.

    3. Add the noodles and simmer until al dente, about 8 minutes.

    5. Remove from heat, stir in the cream and cheese until melted. Check the seasoning and add salt if needed. Serve with garlic bread.
