|---|---|
| Introduction | Lasagna soup is a cozy, one-pot twist on traditional lasagna that delivers all the rich flavors of the classic dish with a fraction of the work. Its hearty broth, savory meat, tender noodles, and creamy cheese topping make it perfect for busy weeknights or cold seasons. |
| Why You'll Love It | This recipe is quicker than baked lasagna, customizable with different meats, and freezer-friendly. It’s also great for meal prep and tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen. |
| Ingredients Breakdown | The soup uses classic Italian ingredients: tomatoes for richness, herbs for aroma, and lasagna noodles for structure. The cheese mixture adds creaminess, mimicking the layers of traditional lasagna. |
| Cooking Tips | Brown the meat well for deeper flavor. Cook noodles separately if storing for multiple days to prevent over-softening. Add spinach or mushrooms for a veggie boost. |
| Variations | Vegetarian: use mushrooms or lentils instead of meat. Spicy: add chili flakes or hot Italian sausage. Creamy: add ÂĽ cup heavy cream at the end. |
| Storage & Reheating | Store soup and noodles separately for best texture. Refrigerate 3–4 days; freeze without noodles for up to 3 months. Reheat on stovetop and add fresh noodles before serving. |
| Serving Ideas | Serve with garlic bread, Caesar salad, or a simple green salad. Top with basil or extra parmesan for flavor and presentation. |
