Cozy Lasagna Soup
This warm and comforting soup brings all the delicious flavors of a traditional lasagna into one easy bowl.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about a hearty soup that tastes just like your favorite pasta dish. My family loves this recipe because it is much faster to make than a layered lasagna but still gives you that rich, cheesy satisfaction we all crave.
My secret for the best texture is to cook the pasta separately. This stops the noodles from soaking up all the broth if you have leftovers for the next day.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 6 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat until it is cooked through.
- 2
Add the onion to the pot and cook until soft, then stir in the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes for one minute.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute before pouring in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth.
- 4
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- 5
While the soup simmers, boil the lasagna noodles in a separate pot of salted water until they are tender, then drain.
- 6
Stir the cooked noodles and heavy cream into the soup pot.
- 7
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of ricotta, a sprinkle of parmesan, and fresh basil.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep the cooked noodles in a separate container if possible to keep them from getting too soft. Serve this with a side of toasted garlic bread for a complete meal.
