✨ Lasagna Soup: A Comforting, Flavor-Packed Twist on a Classic Italian Favorite
If you’ve never made Lasagna Soup before, get ready—because once you try it, it’s going straight into your regular rotation. This was my first time making it, and honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever made a soup with this much flavor. It tastes like a cozy, bubbling lasagna straight from the oven, but in a warm, spoonable bowl. It’s hearty, soul-warming, and unbelievably delicious… truly the kind of meal that makes your kitchen smell like an Italian trattoria!
What makes this soup so irresistible is how all the classic lasagna elements come together in one pot: rich tomato broth, savory browned meat, tender noodles, and, of course, that irresistible trio of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan. Every bite has layers of flavor—just like a traditional lasagna—but the process is easier, quicker, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients You’ll Need

How to Make the Best Lasagna Soup
- Brown the meat in a large pot until well caramelized—this is where the flavor begins.
- Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in tomato paste and let it toast for a minute to deepen the flavor.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth, then season generously.
- Bring to a simmer and add broken lasagna noodles until tender.
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan—this will be your creamy “lasagna center.”
- Serve the soup hot, topped with a generous scoop of the cheese mixture so it melts into the bowl.
- Add fresh basil if you want that final pop of freshness.
What Makes This Soup So Special
The magic happens when the hot broth hits the cheese topping. The ricotta becomes creamy, the mozzarella gets stretchy, and the parmesan adds that perfect salty richness. It tastes like you’re eating a deconstructed lasagna—but lighter, cozier, and somehow even more flavorful.
If you love Italian comfort food, this is one recipe you’ll crave again and again. It’s the kind of bowl that makes people go silent at the table because they’re too busy enjoying it!
