A bowl of Lasagna Soup topped with a dollop of a ricotta cheese mixture and sprinkled with parsley.

Lasagna Soup

Catherine
Lasagna soup is made with noodles, ground beef, three different types of cheeses, and a good serving of hidden veggies, all swimming in an herby tomato broth. This comforting soup is an easy way to enjoy the flavors of lasagna but without all the hassle!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot shredded or finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 small zucchini shredded (peel the darker green skin so it is less visible if serving to picky eaters)
  • 3 cups tomato sauce (marinara)
  • 6 cups beef broth or water
  • 9 oz tripoline pasta broken into bite sized pieces (or broken lasagna noodles or any pasta of choice)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, + more to serve (optional)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated + more to serve (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prep veggies by preparing them as listed above.
  • Heat oil in a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and carrot. Cook until the beef has browned, stirring often and break up any large pieces of ground beef as it cooks.
  • Add the dried herbs, zucchini, tomato sauce, beef broth, salt and pepper to the pot.
  • Bring the soup to a boil and then add the pasta noodles. Lower the temperature to medium heat and let the soup simmer until the pasta is cooked through.
  • In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and top the soup with a heaping spoonful of the cheese mixture. You may also sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese or mozzarella for an extra cheesy soup (optional).

Notes

  • If you are serving this to non-picky eaters who don't mind larger chunks of veggies, feel free to chop the zucchini and carrots instead!
