Ingredients

Lasagna soup is a hearty, warm soup that is perfect for cooler months. It is a comforting meal that everyone loves and it’s easy to make!

The ingredients in this soup are simple and include ground beef, sausage, tomatoes, onions and noodles. The recipe also includes herbs and spices to enhance the flavors. It’s a great dinner to serve with a salad or some cheesy breadsticks!

You can easily make this lasagna soup in a slow cooker or Instant Pot. Just fully cook the meat and sausage, drain and add it to the crock pot or Instant Pot along with the broth, tomato sauce, onion, spices, herbs, and broken lasagna noodles as directed in the recipe.

If you’re looking for a different type of pasta, you can switch it out with elbow macaroni, large fettuccine or spaghetti. Just note that it may take a little longer to cook as the noodles soak up the liquid.

This lasagna soup is perfect for serving with a green salad and some toasted garlic bread. It’s also a great meal to make ahead and store in the freezer for later!

To freeze this soup, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or bag and then place in the refrigerator. It will keep for about three days or so. You can also reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave, but you will need to add some extra beef broth.

Leftovers of this soup can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for up to 3 months. You can also reheat the leftovers by placing them in a covered pot on the stove or in the microwave.

A good wine pairs well with this dish, but a fruity Zinfandel would be a particularly delicious choice. Alternatively, you could serve this soup with a light-bodied white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

To serve this delicious soup, ladle it into individual bowls and top with a layer of ricotta cheese and mozzarella or parmesan cheese. You can also top the bowls with a sprinkle of fresh basil for added flavor!

Prep Time

A hearty, easy dinner that your whole family will love, this lazy lasagna soup recipe is made with ground beef, veggies, pasta sauce and lots of cheese. It’s perfect for busy weeknights and it’s also freezer-friendly!

Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Next add Italian sausage, onions, garlic and spices. Season with salt and pepper and cook until onion is soft and sausage is browned, about 7 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes more. Once the mixture is cooked, add tomatoes and bay leaves along with chicken stock.

Once everything is added to the soup, you’ll need to simmer for 15 minutes. You’ll also want to break the noodles up in the soup as it’s cooking so they absorb all of the flavor.

You can make this soup in your Crock Pot or Instant Pot. If you use the crock pot method, you’ll need to prepare the recipe as listed above and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

If you’re using the instant pot method, you’ll need to prepare all of the ingredients as listed above except for the noodles and cheeses. Once everything is ready, press the soup setting and cook for 15 minutes on this setting.

When the soup is finished cooking, stir in the broken lasagna noodles and let them soak in the soup for 15 minutes. This will make them al dente, if desired.

Finally, sprinkle with additional shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. This cheese mixture is called “cheesy yum” and it’s absolutely delicious!

This recipe is a great make ahead meal as it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the soup, pasta and cheesy yum portions separately and they’ll be ready to enjoy when you’re ready for a quick meal!

This recipe makes a huge pot of soup that can be served for lunch, a light dinner or a cozy lunch on the go. The best part is that it’s so easy to prepare and the ingredients are all ready to go!

Cook Time

Lasagna soup is a one-pot meal that combines flat sheet pasta with a tomato and meat broth and cheese. The dish is easy to prepare and perfect for busy weeknights. It can be made on the stovetop or in a slow cooker, depending on your schedule and needs.

You can also make this soup in the Instant Pot. This is an excellent way to save time on busy nights and it’s easy to adjust the cooking times as needed for your family’s preferences.

To start, heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and Italian sausages. Cook, breaking them up with a spatula, until browned. Remove from the pan, allowing any excess grease to drain away with paper towels.

Next, stir in onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the onion softens and the meat browns, about 7 minutes.

Now, transfer the meat mixture and vegetables to the crockpot. In addition to the tomatoes, stock, and seasonings, you can add a jar of crushed tomatoes, as well as some fresh basil. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.

At the end of cooking, you’ll want to check the soup to see if it is cooked through. If it isn’t, add a little more water or chicken broth to bring it to the desired consistency.

Finally, top your bowls of lasagne soup with ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese. The combination of these three cheeses gives the soup an extra creamy texture and is perfect for dipping.

This recipe freezes very well. You can store the soup, noodles and cheesy yum portions separately in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 days.

When ready to serve, place a serving of noodles in each bowl and then ladle the hot soup over the top. You can also mix the ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan together to create an ooey-gooey topping.

This is the perfect meal to enjoy on a cold night, especially during the winter months. Pair this soup with a green salad and some Homemade Roasted Garlic Bread, Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks or Artisan Bread for a hearty meal that everyone will love.

Serve

For a quick meal, make the sauce in your Instant Pot using the saute function. Once the sauce has reduced, stir in the broth, tomatoes and seasonings. Add in cooked meat, broken up lasagna noodles and cheeses. Set to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.

If you’re in a hurry, this recipe can also be prepared in the Crock Pot. You can brown the beef and onions in a skillet then transfer them to the crockpot with the rest of the ingredients. If you’re using ground chicken, just add it along with the veggies to the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 2-3 hours before adding in the broken up noodles and cheeses.

To serve, add the cooked pasta to individual bowls and pour the hot soup over the top. Dollop a bit of creamy ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan mixture over the top and garnish with fresh basil.

Serving Time:

Depending on the size of your lasagna noodles, this recipe can be served as a main course or side dish. You can also store the leftovers in an airtight container in your freezer for a future date.

If you’re serving this as a side dish, prepare the noodles and cheese topping in advance so you can quickly reheat them on your stovetop before serving. Just be sure to allow the noodles and cheese to fully thaw before serving, so that they don’t get soggy.

For an extra-creamy and satisfying meal, make the ricotta and parmesan mixture ahead of time. Then, you can easily reheat the entire pot before serving.
