Lasagna Soup made with ground beef, sausage, spinach and three types of cheese! The perfect easy dinner for those cold winter nights!
We are in soup mode at our house and surprisingly, my kids have been loving it. This lasagna soup was a huge hit as was Creamy White Chicken Chili and even Authentic New Orleans Gumbo (not truly a soup but a total winner!).
I guess the only positive thing about cold winter temperatures is that you can continue cooking warm comfort food and soups, like this delicious Lasagna Soup! This soup is seriously yummy! . This tastes just like lasagna, but in soup form, so how could it not be amazing?!
How to Make Lasagna Soup:
1. Brown the meat. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and sausage until browned. Season with salt and pepper as you cook. Drain grease and remove meat from the pot.
2. Cook onion and garlic. In a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Toss in diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in minced garlic and cook for another minute or two.
3. Add sauce and spices. Stir in tomato paste, marinara sauce, spices, and broth. Return meat to the pot.
4. Add lasagna noodles. Bring the pot to a boil then add lasagna noodles (broken into 4ths) to pot and reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender. Add spinach, if using.
5. Combine cheeses. In a small bowl, stir together mozzarella, Parmesan and ricotta cheeses.
6. Serve warm. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, and dollop a scoop of the cheese mixture on top. Garnish with fresh basil.
Make ahead and freezing instructions:
To make ahead: Make the recipe up to step 4. Do not add the noodles to the pot. Store the soup in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, start at step 5, bringing the soup to a boil and cooking the noodles at that point. Serve with a dollop of cheese.
To freeze: Freeze lasagna soup without the cheese. Place soup in a freezer safe container and freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat slowly on the stovetop. If you are making this recipe specifically for freezing, you may choose to make the noodles fresh once ready to serve (see make ahead instructions).
Store lasagna soup covered, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Other Variations of Lasagna Soup:
- Vegetarian Lasagna Soup: Omit the sausage and ground beef and add more chopped vegetables to step 3 (cooking with onion and garlic). I recommend zucchini, mushrooms, and yellow squash.
- Vegan Lasagna Soup: Omit the sausage and ground beef and add more chopped vegetables to step 3 (cooking with onion and garlic). I recommend zucchini, mushrooms, and yellow squash. Substitute the cheese with homemade cashew ricotta.
- Pasta substitutions: Substitute any type of pasta for the broken lasagna noodles!

Wow, delicious!! Probably my favourite soup recipe. Added 1/2 cup of whipping cream as well! So good.
Wow! Just made this and it will make it into the “saved” book. I added mushroom powder 2 tbs and used only lean burger but gosh is it good! I also used cottage cheese instead of ricotta.
This is a go-to recipe for us. We use any noodles we have on hand and a 16oz box will sub fine in a pinch! Flavorful and delicious. Even my picky kids will eat it.
Brilliant recipe!!
Elegant looking with the cheese blend added as a dollop on top, no stringy melting mozzarella to deal with.
To save time, I used Classico Sweet Basil pasta sauce and Giadzy taccole pasta (4 cups) which looks like mini lasagna noodles.
Soooo delicious!!!
Delicious! I love this recipe and it will be on rotation from now on!
I started off my experience by making the Marinara sauce and that was very good.
I actually kept about 1 tablespoon of the beef and sausage fat in the pot to sauté the onions and garlic in with no additional olive oil.
Instead of breaking up large lasagne noodles, small Mafalda Corta (mini ruffled-edge noodles) were cooked up and served in individual bowls along with the spinach. (I planned to freeze some of the soup so wanted to keep the components separate.)
The ricotta ‘cream’ was very tasty as a topping – and offering a nice slow melt! Next time, I may thin it out a wee bit with a splash of cream.
My ricotta had a wee bit of sweeter taste to it so I just added in a generous measure of Grana Padana which I had on hand – no Parmesan.
I found this soup to be very tasty and hearty; it was fabulous for what I am looking for in a great soup recipe.
Thank you Lauren for your offering and another ‘keeper’ in my repertoire!
Looks great….thank you for sharing this recipe.
I’m planning to make this next week but I’m also trying to watch my calories so I was wondering what was a serving size for one person?
Love this recipe. I’ve made it countless times and it’s been consistently delicious and easy to make.
Wonderful recipe. It really tastes just like lasagna. Thanks for another great recipe.
My family love, love, love this recipe. I followed the recipe as written and also made the marinara sauce. This is a keeper. Thank you for sharing this AWESOME recipe♥
Tweaked things just a little based on sizes that were available from my grocery. (Ex…48 oz of chicken broth instead of 56) I also took a tip from comments and added 4oz of heavy whipping cream, served it with basic sliced buttered Italian bread from the bakery section and this was awesome!!!
We love this recipe (our kids especially… which is a huge win in this house!). Thank you!
Made this today and my husband, who spares no words when commenting on a new recipe, told me this was a forever-keeper!! I doubled both meats and followed the rest as is… incredible!!
This was a banger. I made just a couple changes, I added 1/2 a cup of heavy cream. I didn’t drain the meat and in place of tomato paste (mostly because I didn’t have it) I just added a can of diced tomatoes juice and all. I also added Italian seasoning garlic powder and black pepper to the ricotta cheese mix. This is probably my new favorite way to eat lasagna.
We loved this it even my picky 2 year old granddaughter liked it.
In the process of making it now I always loved my mother‘s sloppy lasagna. I hope this taste similar to that.
Yummy, easy, comfort food. Served with TBFS artisan bread.
I can’t wait to try it! Has anyone used store bought marinara? I’m short on time and would love to know which brand of marinara to use..
Rao’s marinara all the way
Rao’s is one of the very best on the shelf…cost a little more, but well worth it!
Rao’s homemade marinara
We have a new family favorite!!! this dish was excellent! i wanted to try the manara recipe linked above.. squishing the tomatoes with my hands was so therapeutic.. and easy!! The one big thing i did differently was to put the soup in a casserole dish, add the cheese mixture on top, and baked it in the oven for 15 mins at 400 deg.. we could not stop eating it!!!
This turned out so good! I had 1lb of ground turkey on hand so that’s what I used. But I bet it would be even better with sausage instead. I also used frozen spinach because that’s what I had. Next time I’ll definitely cut the noodles a little smaller just so they fit on the spoon easier. But I’ll definitely be making this again!
We’ve made this recipe twice now and everytime we remember why it’s a family favorite. We have shared it with anyone who will listen. Thanks for the delicious food!
this is delicious!!! everyone loves !!!!
This was delicious! I highly recommend!
Sounds delish! How much is in one serving? I’m bringing it to a pot luck and want to be sure I make enough!
Another great recipe from Lauren! Since I had the ingredients on hand I gave it a try and it is now our favorite soup recipe!!! Thanks TBFS!
Oh my goodness! I have been wanting to try this for weeks, and today I finally did. So, so, SO good! I’m feeding my daughter and 4 of her college volleyball teammates today, and I am so thrilled with how this turned out! DELICIOUS! And, I don’t say that lightly. So much flavor and depth! We will be having this again and again!
Does anyone know if this recipe can be halved? I’m a college student and don’t think I have a pot big enough for this soup, but I really want to try it!
You can def. half the recipe!
Delicious!!
Very good but I thought it needed a bit more spice/heat. Added more pepper, red pepper flakes, salt. Delish!!
You know what would be great?? Say HOW MANY OUNCES of pasta is needed in case you’re not using actual lasagne noodles.
8 oz
A one pound Barilla lasagna noodles has 18 noodles, according to the nutrition facts available online.
Really good on this chilly night!
I let my son make this with me as part of teaching a man to fish. But when sat down to eat it with some garlic bread he ate it like a bear out of hibernation!! This was so good…soooo good!
I’m ‘gonna‘ try this recipe but will substitute the pork sausage for spicy breakfast ground turkey sausage. This meal sounds absolutely delicious!
Great idea!! Healthier options!
Delish! Make sure you read use LESS parsley if using dried!! Made that mistake, but still tasted great!
Will def make again
This is amazing. So delicious, exactly as written.
My girlfriend asked for some Lasagna soup tonight, never heard of it prior.
Followed this recipe to the best of my ingredients after shopping (some stuff not available at store) came out great. Good recipe would recommend 100%
Surpassed my expectations. Very flavorful.
made this tonight and the hubs went wild for it. do you know if it freezes well?
Yes, you could freeze it!
omg sorry! i just saw the freezing instructions in the notes
Made this for the family last week and wow – it was a total hit with everyone!! So easy to customize, and so flavorful! I love the added color AND nutrients that the spinach provides, and for those with picky eaters they will likely not even know they are eating spinach! This will be in my regular rotation during the winter months!
Can I mix in all the cheese to melt all through the soup?
Yes, sure!
A real winner in our house! I like to try every recipe as written before I tweak them to make them our own, this is pretty perfect. I doubled it and dropped some off for my brother’s family to enjoy.
Hubs and I give this a thumbs up! Good winter soup to add to my list. The cheese dollop is key and you only need a small tablespoonful. It tempting to sprinkle extra Parmesan but skip to enjoy the lasagna flavors.
Soup is absolutely delicious. I got confused while making soup. Under ingredients it says noodles broken into pieces but under directions it says broken into fourths. I broke noodles into fourths and they were way too big to eat with a spoon. Next time I will do pieces.
This was amazing! I had to tweak it since we have dairy and egg allergies in this house, but it still came out incredible. I’m not usually a leftover person, but the leftovers were great! Definitely adding this to our dinner rotation!
Excellent recipe. This was delicious! The only thing I did different was use Mafalda shaped pasta because it looks like mini pieces of lasagna noodles. It saved me a step in breaking up whole lasagna noodles. This will be going into my soup rotation. Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
It looked real good
I made this recipe with ground chicken instead to avoid red meat. Definitely still delicious. I will say that braking the lasagna noodles into only 4ths makes it hard to eat. In the future I will likely be substituting a more bite sized noodle. But that’s just my preference! Still a wonderful soup!
We loved this recipe! Followed directions exactly, and using my homemade marinara sauce from Jeffrey Eisner’s cookbook. Next time I’ll add some mushrooms and zucchini when sautéing the onion and garlic.
Hi!
I made this lasagna soup recipe tonight for dinner. Followed your recipe to a T. Ok, not totally. I used left over lasagna I had.
I made the marina sauce following your recipe too.
My daughter don’t like soup… She LOVED it and ate a second bowl!
My son said it was so flavorful, so good!
Hubby sais it’s a keeper. I agree with them.
Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
Really easy and flexible to substitute with what you have on hand. I used 93% lean ground beef, browned with some olive oil and cooked the onions with the beef to keep from using another pot. For the broth, I used knorr chicken tomato bouillon cubes and water. Very good and just as satisfying (well almost!) as a lasagna.
I’ve made this multiple times now and it’s become a staple!! So yummy! I want to bring it to a potluck and am wondering if you’ve ever made it in a slow cooker before? If so would you happen to have the directions? Thank you!

Yes, you could make it in the slow cooker! Cook the meat first, but then add everything to the crockpot and cook for several hours if you’d like. Add the noodles closer to eating as they’ll probably take 30-45 minutes or so to cook.
Can I use an instant pot?
I started my soup in the morning and simmered it all day to create depth of flavor. I also added a can of whole tomatoes with juice that I crushed (the whole tomatoes have the most flavor). I added the spinach at the very end after turning the stove off. That added a nice brightness.
I would like to know how much this recipe makes in ounces please. I am making six gallons of this next week and need to know how many batches I need to make.
Thank you
Wow! This recipe is amazing!!!!!!!!! I did add double the ground beef and I added about 5 big carrots with the onions to sauté for extra veggies. Whole family loved it and can’t wait to make again!!
Delicious! Followed to the t! Five stars! Packed with flavor.
so good! saw a youtube video of someone making this and used this recipe. came out so good and super flavorful.
Making this tomorr night but 1 question…why chicken stock and not beef stock as it has beef in it?
Hope you loved the lasagna soup!! In testing, we liked the overall flavor better with chicken stock but BOTH are amazing and will work great in this recipe. We would love it if you would leave a rated review with how it came out for you!
This was delicious! I saw some people saying that it wasn’t overly soupy, but that can be remedied by adding water/broth. I personally prefer a thicker soup with more solids so this was perfect! Definitely making this again!
I would recommend cooking the cheese mixture a little bit not just as a Dollup like you would do a sour cream. Italians would prefer it like it was in a lasagna, not an afterthought.
I made the soup exactly as written except I cooked the onion with the meat and used turkey Italian sausage. It was sublime! I never review recipes but this one is worth it. Simple, quick, one pot, and absolutely delicious!
So good!! Everyone loved it!!
I made this recipe last week and loved it. Do you think Chorizo sausage meat would work as well. I couldn’t get regular Italian sausage meat today.
My soup did not get soupy either. Followed directions, but did add the vegetables suggested for vegan lasagna. Tasted great. I considered turning it into a lasagna. I liked it better the second day. Dry enough to serve it on a plate, used extra cheese with it and it was great. Gave it three stars because it really wasn’t soup. 5 stars for taste. Bread was a necessity, I think it needed crunch.
As my neighbor, I shared with , slurpy noises and yummy delicious and so pretty!! Ingenious!!! To translate these usual difficult favourites into SOUP!!! Thank yöööö another wonderful comfort food addition!!!
I made this it was delicious I did add 2 cans of diced tomatoes.
Recipe tasted great but mine didn’t turn soupy. I followed recipe 100%
I stumbled on this recipe and I’m officially obsessed! I made this for dinner for my husband and kids and everyone wanted seconds. It’s easy to make and the flavors are delicious. 10/10!!
Hi! I have everything BUT the stock on hand to make this. Can I use water and add more seasoning? Can’t wait to try!!!
Can you use frozen or canned spinach? This looks do yummy I just don’t have fresh….
Yes, you could add frozen spinach and thaw it first, and squeeze out the extra moisture.
Amazing and delicious! Would love to make this for a potluck at work. Can I make this earlier in the morning and keep in a crockpot on warm till lunch time?
Amazing it’s like a warm hug in a bowl ❤️
Easy and delish!
I loveeeee this recipe !!! I’m vegetarian so I used plant based beef. I Also added diced tomatoes!
Super yummy! Great soup on a cold, rainy, fall day. I used my own canned pasta sauce and instead of tomato paste I put in a pint of stewed tomatoes.
I made this lasagna soup tonight it was wonderful. I love all kinds of soups and this one is awesome!!!!
I have made this recipe many times! I love lasagna, but this so much lighter. My family loves it!
Has anyone tried this in the crockpot and add noodles the last 30 mins of cook time?
I bought the ingredients for this, and realized I forgot to buy ricotta. I do have cottage cheese in my fridge, can I use this? Ugh I hate when I do this.
Yes, that’s fine!
5 star recipe! I made this soup last night and it was SO GOOD. I followed the recipe, as is, including the fresh (baby) spinach. I will be making this again & will share it with others!
So delicious and easy to make!! We love this and it has become a regular item on the menu all year long.
First time making this soup and wow! So good! I did some minor adjustments based on our families personal preferences and it’s fabulous. Highly, highly recommend. My teens ate multiple bowls and gave it 2 thumbs up!
Yes yes yes!!! My favorite dish as a soup. Cant get any better than this. I couldn’t wait to make this dish once I saw it. Looking for an excuse to make a delightful warm cozy soup night but nothing popped up until tonight! Absolutely delicious. I didn’t have dry basil only fresh so I added extra beside garnish and it took the soup that is already so delicious to the next level. Will be adding this to our fall and winter night dinner rotations.
Love your soup! I substitute mini farfalle pasta for the lasagna noodles. They work perfectly.
Even with store bought marinara, my homemade chicken stock, and doing some of my own things here and there, your recipe came out so good!!! Thank you for sharing.
Great recipe 👌🏽 I had so many compliments. Homemade marinara sauce is the best.
Loved it, and my partner and his family loved it!
Definitely cut the amount of stock if you want it to be less liquidy, the first time I made this I did 3 cups of vege stock. The second time I made this I doubled the recipe and I used 5 cups chicken stock. Chicken stock definitely had a much nicer flavour than vege stock in my opinion but it’s personal preference.
Ricotta where I live is expensive so I just made a bechamel / cheese sauce I found from a regular lasagna recipe and I dolloped that on top. Spinach was out of stock in my supermarket so I substituted with broccoli.
Also I used canned tomatoes but with seasoning (e.g canned tomatoes with basil and oregano or basil and garlic, etc) so that I didn’t have to add herbs (saves time!)
Will definitely be making again, such a nice dish in Winter
Substituted beef for turkey and turkey sausage. Also added all the recommended veggies for the vegetarian version and it was awesomeeeeeee. Great recipe!!
Sounds delicious as is, thinking of mini meatballs and mushrooms for me because I love them.
Very tasty and fast to make.
Delicious! Definitely a 5-star recipe! My only suggestion would be to use less broth so will be a little thicker or more pasta (break into smaller strips for easier eating as well). Thank you for sharing, will be making often.
I agree! Smaller lasagna pieces and less broth (which I decided to do anyway) is a great suggestion! Super yummy recipe all in all!
A family favorite! I just break my noodles up a bit more 😂
I made the lasagna soup last night and it was terrific! I’m going to add it to my fall favorites recipes. It would make a fun, heart warming dish on a cool October night. A few things, DO add (the optional) spinach. And also I added only 5 cups of chicken broth and extra marinara sauce. I didn’t make my own sauce this time. I just used Prego old world style meat sauce and it worked out just fine.
This was absolutely delicious!! Instead of taking the meat out of the pot once it was cooked I just left it in & added the chopped onion and the minced garlic & it came out just fine. I did add a cup less of chicken broth, slightly more red pepper flakes & added a whole box of lasagna noodles because i wanted it thicker. Definitely going to be adding it to our rotation.
This was amazing. I used the homemade marinara sauce recipe with fresh herbs, frozen homemade chicken stock and frozen spinach. I started the marinara then prepped the soup ingredients, browned the meats and put them in a bowl, drained most of the fat leaving some to saute the onion/garlic, threw onion/garlic in meat bowl, put frozen chicken stock in pot and stirred till melted. By this time the marinara was done so I added the sauce/paste & meat to the stock pot, cooked the pasta, added the fresh herbs at the spinach step, and stirred till spinach thawed.
I made this last night. It was sooo good. I did it in the instant pot & cooked the noodles separately so I could freeze leftovers. I added splash of basalmic vinegar. Also some of us are on low carb diets. Since I didn’t have ricotta cheese I used crumbled goat cheese. (my son & DIL raise goats so she makes cheese and shares with me. ) I say ADD the spinach, it really makes the soup even more special. Lots of lasagna Soup recipes out there, but we like this one the best. Thanks
made this tonight and my only future alteration would be to use some other kind of noodle. the soup itself was fantastic, but with such big pieces of noodle i didn’t know whether to serve it with a fork or a spoon. the soup itself is watery and perfect for a spoon, but those noodles need more help than that… lol. i will absolutely be making this again, just different pasta! thank you for sharing!
I prefer to break them into smaller pieces for the exact reason.
I made this recipe today, and included the spinach. Only thing I did add was 1 tablespoon sugar and a pinch of nutmeg. Outstanding! I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much for sharing!
It’s the best soup I’ve ever had. I entered a soup fest contest and I won first place overall. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait wait to make lasagna
Soup.
Made this twice and both times my family was raving. Substituted Better than bouillon veggie for the broth.
Def part of our rotation ! Thank you!
Really good recipe! My family loved it. I used half low sodium and half regular broth. The spinach added gives it the perfect touch and of course the dollop of cheese. Yummy! Thank you!
On the very top of our lasagna we add a layer of sour cream.
So would recommend also adding a big dollop of sour cream on top of each serving.
Then the cheese and sprinkle diced green onion stems on top
of all of that, just before serving!!!
Also, adding half and half marina and Alfredo sauce, for those who are sensitive to too much tomato acid, might be a good idea.
Very good recipe! The spinach gives it that extra kick! My family loved it, thank you!
I love this recipe. I omitted the red pepper flakes. The spicy marinara was spicy enough. I added bread crumbs and an egg to the meat mixture, then made meatballs. I used bow tie pasta. I added chopped zuchinni when I added the noodles. I added an egg to the ricotta mixture, then cooked it in the microwave. I let it cool a little to firm up. We put scoops on top of the soup. Thank you for the great recipe!
So basically you made a completely different meal, lol.
Love, love, love this! I only wish I had found it sooner. Normal ingredients, easy to make, and it looks beautiful.
Make this every other weekend using different pasta. Love this soup!
I’ve made this quite a few times. Always a big hit. Only thing I change up is the pasta shapes- lasagnetti, long fusilli, mafalda….. all work great.
Not a fan of this soup. The flavors were off and it was just ok.
That doesn’t mean it was bad. Chef deserves at least a three.
1 star for “just okay”.. lol. Ridiculous. Not sure how the flavors are off. This is a standard lasagna soup. You sound off Carla. Learn how to be kinder on the internet.
Maybe the flavors were off because you didn’t use the ingredients that were suggested…? Because you didn’t like it doesn’t mean the chef deserves a 1 star…don’t rate at all!
Perfect comfort food for freezing weather!
Delicious, so good tasting and pretty simple to make too!
Absolutely delicious!
Utterly amazing 😻!! I used ground turkey and turkey sausage as meat and added sweet peppers. Felt like a warm hug on a very cold day. ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing. My new favorite go to recipe and makes enough to have some friends over too! Also made the homemade marinara recipe. And it too was 5 star amazing!!
Second time I’ve made this, and I jazzed up the marinara recipe and soup itself with additional spices (garlic powder and garlic salt, onion powder, red pepper flakes (in the marinara, too), a dash of Italian seasoning, and white mustard)
It’s so good and definitely staying in rotation!
Could you add the cheese mixture into the soup?
Absolutely! I’ve seen a bunch of videos where they add a huge heaping spoonful of it into the soup and then top the bowls off with it as well. Definitely makes it creamier!
Oh my goodness, new favorite soup!!! So incredibly flavorful, whole family loved it. Only change, I used fettuccine due to the fact that I didn’t have lasagna on hand 😉
Thank you!!!
Family loved it. Easy to make. Great change from chicken and beef soups.
Do you actually have to cook the noodles or can they cook in the soup?
The noodles are added uncooked and cook in the soup.
This was really good! Even my lasagna hating husband liked it! I used all ground beef.
I just made this tonight. I did not use spinach and used cottage cheese in the cheese topping. This is delicious! I will have to try it with the spinach next time. This is definitely a keeper! Thanks for the recipe.
Made multiple mistakes with this recipe and still came out fantastic. I found this recipe after realizing that I needed to use up mushrooms and ricotta, and I didn’t have time to make my veggie lasagna. I’m happy with how straightforward this was to make. Delicious meal. My 2yo had a second bowl. (She’s usually a fan of anything pasta and cheese related.)
The whole family loved it, including the littles. Will definetly make again.
LOVEDDDDDDD IT
I have read so many recipes about lasagna soup and had to finally try yours out. I made a few minor adjustments to fit what I already had (spaghetti sauce instead of marinara) and added my frozen chicken broth which I always keep for recipes. I used less oregano and Italian seasoning since my sauce was already wonderfully flavorful. I also used rotini noodles and had the cottage cheese/mozzarella blend to top it. It was TOTALLY AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Made this for a crowd this weekend. It got rave reviews! We don’t eat pork so I used all ground beef and it still turned out so flavorful!
SO SO SO GOOD! I did it just with Italian sausage and it was great!
Fabulous soup! Typically think soups are better next day when flavors have time to settle, but this was amazing straight from the stove. My husband prefers cream based soups, so to please him, I added 1/2-3/4 cup cream. Perfect. Although, with the ricotta-mozerella-park cheese mixture for dollaping, cream is not necessary. This soup will now be in our fall/winter rotation.
Delicious and simple to make. Super savory the following day. Adding this one to my favorite comfort foods.
Amazing and easy! Highly recommend.
So easy to make & absolutely delicious. I used Rao’s tomato basil marinara so it was super quick. Only change I made was less ricotta as hubby isn’t a fan. I think I’ll sneak in more next time since he enjoyed the flavor!

This is definitely one of my favorite soups! Highly recommend using the homemade marinara sauce too. So good!
Super excited to try this recipe. Have it simmering right now for dinner tonight. I made double the recipe so we can freeze a bunch for easy weeknight meals. What would be the serving size for those nutrition facts? I’m tracking on WW so would be helpful to know. thanks!
This is a badass and flexible recipe. Making it right now. Thank you for the inspiration!!
Sure hope your soup was great. I must make this soon 😉
So the hubs (Mark) loved this even better a few days after we made it!!! This is delish and I’m making for the 2nd time tonight! Cheers to a great dinner recipe, used what we had on hand, added mushrooms and used homegrown kale instead of spinach! Found you from Becky at AcreHomestead.
First time making this and I love it! It’s even better in my opinion than traditional lasagna! Very easy recipie to follow. I will definitely be cooking this again
Very yummy! I used all beef instead of half sausage, but followed everything else exact. Very flavorful. Only change I’ll make in the future is to break the noodles a bit smaller for easier eating. Definitely a new recipe for the dinner rotation!
10/10!! my bf just said “this is the best soup i’ve ever had in my life” & that does nottt come easily! definitely going to be a staple soup in this household
Delicious. Made a lot but loved every bite
I made this for a soup luncheon at my school. It was gone by 10:45 a.m. Everyone asked for the recipe and requested that I bring to our next food function! Thanks for sharing this! I’ll probably never make actual lasagna again.
I decided to make this soup with leftover lasagna noodles. It was so yummy! My family loved it!
So good and easy to make. I used ground turkey and added a dash of heavy cream at the end. Next time I may just used bow tie pasta for fun 🙂 Will definitely be making again
How much bow tie did you use?
So much flavor! Awesome!
So easy and delicious! I have never posted a comment on a recipe before, but had to with this one as it was not only fantastic, but so easy too! Excited to try more recipes on this site!
After looking for a long time, I finally decided on this Lasagna Soup recipe and it did not disappoint! I always make my own marinara, added extra seasonings, extra garlic, extra spinach, used BTB beef broth, broke my noodles smaller and doubled the recipe. It made a lot, and was a HUGE hit in my lasagna loving home. The cheese mixture was wonderful…added a little garlic powder and parsley to that. I will definitely be making this again.
Delicious!!! I needed a quick dinner & the family LOVED IT! I added a few extra cups of spinach to lighten it up since I used some spicy sausage. I can also see zucchini & mushrooms being a lovely addition. A+
SOOOOO delicious!! I used Rao’s marinara as I was crunched for time and this is honestly one of the best soups I have ever had.
Super easy and delicious! Can’t wait to make it again.
Made this for the first time I’ve never made lasagna soup. I’ve always made baked lasagna but wow is this delicious over-the-top! I love soup to begin with so I’m not surprised I really enjoyed this! I used veggie ground round crumbles by MorningStar farms and some vegetarian sausage but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and I used a good jar sauce, absolutely delicious thank you for the great recipe!
This was amazing, my boyfriend & I will be adding this to our regular fall/winter meal rotation. So delicious, & the homemade marinara recipe was worth the extra tiny bit of effort!
This was amazing! Just did 1lb of ground beef and used 1/2 box of bow tie pasta because that’s what I had. Super easy to make!
THIS WAS DELISH!!! The only thing I did different is use cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese cuz hubby doesn’t like ricotta. Next time I’ll just buy different noodles because the lasagna noodles broken up we’re still too big. But we LOVED this soup! Thank you!
This is what I needed to know!! Thank you!! Was the cottage cheese good in it??
Is the 510 cal to calories per serving or the calories for the whole thing?
Per serving
This recipe is soo yummy. Gonna be my fav soup in the winter
Very straightforward one-pot recipe, came out delicious! Especially with extra red chili flakes 🤤
Omw this soup was great I made it cause I suck at making traditional lasagnas so I gave this a try my whole family was like that just sounds nasty but I gave it a shot. I made a huge pot just in case well it lasted maybe 6 hours and everyone wanted more. I told them all don’t knock sumn till yeahv tried it
This soup is sooooooo delicious and easy to make
This is a wonderful recipe. Great for cold day weather to warm you up.
This soup was the best! My whole family enjoyed it.
This was great recipe. My husband thought it was restaurant worthy!!
We will cook it for dinner on Valentines for our friends thank you so much.
So easy and absolutely deish! I will definitely be making this again.
Love this recipe, perfect for winter comfort food!
Sooooo good and full of flavor! Hubby loved it. This is definitely a keeper, will definitely make it again and often! Thanks!
Terrific recipe! Easy to follow and very customizable. Flavors were spot on and the best part was the creamy, cheesy goodness at the bottom of the bowl. My entire family gives this recipe 5 stars!
in a pinch, is frozen spinach suitable?
This is excellent! A local diner advertised their lasagna soup so I had to attempt to make our own! It was perfect and approved by my husband, as well as two sometimes hard to please teenagers! The only thing I’d do differently is add more spinach next time! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Love this recipe! We have it at least once a month! Don’t change a thing ☺️
Made twice. 2nd time for friends. They loved it as did we. Never making pan lasagna again. This has same ingredients and flavor but less labor intensive. Thank you!
Made this tonight…first time. Excellent. Used ground beef and had 1 leftover chicken sausage. Delicious and filling. I will precook the noodles next time and break them up smaller. Did add spinach ( hiding veggies for hubby). Bringing a bowl over to my elderly neighbor too.
Fabulous recipe easy to prepare great instructions.
Delicious!
Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out GREAT!! Made some garlic bread to go with it, WHAT A MEAL!!
Did anyone ever try with beef broth instead of chicken?
Yes! I only use beef broth every time I make it.
Our favorite soup and now in our weekly rotation. Easy and delicious!! Serve it with warm garlic bread- yum!
This recipe was super yummy and amazing!! I used turkey meat and it still tasted yummy. Now my family is requesting to have it once a week! Thank you for the recipe!
This was delicious and the perfect way to use up the end of a box of lasagna noodles! I went the extra mile and used my homemade sausage in this recipe. So good! Definitely five stars!
I was thinking there might be too much cheese involved here when I was finishing up cooking, but I was wrong about that. Is there ever too much cheese? Not likely. Haha 🙂 Thank you for the meal inspiration!
Delicious, delicious! Making it again. This time, will add the black beans as someone also tried. I personally mixed most of the cheeses into the soup just before serving, leaving just a little dollop in the middle of the bowl about the size of a half dollar. Wanted that cheesy goodness found in every bite. 😁 Sooo good!
Can you help me understand the calorie content? What is the estimated caloric content per serving?
I love this recipe! I used ground turkey instead. Everyone in my family loved it! Definitely will make again.
Would it work to add froze stew vegetables to it?
Sure! Sounds great.
I found this Recipe in an internet search and just wanted to try it. I doubled the batch and i’m so glad I did! Served it with a loaf of garlic bread and it was an instant hit! It came out awesome. Thank you so much for a great hearty meal.
5 stars!
Me gusta la idea. Prometo que la cocinare.
I love the idea. I promise that I will cook .
Thanks so much!
Wow did we love this soup! We should have doubled it. I prefer ground turkey so i used that as the meat. I also didn’t have spinach on hand. Other than that, we followed the recipe. So good. Saving this baby!
Yummy recipe, thanks!
This is honestly one of my very favorite soups to make in the fall and winter! I love how easy it is to throw together and cheese stirred in deserves all of the heart eyes!!!
