Choosing The Consistency For Your Easy Lasagna Soup
This soup recipe includes a lot of liquid to create the broth, making it a classic pot of soup. If you find you’d like to thin the soup out, even more, you can add additional chicken broth.
However, if you’re like me and prefer it to be a bit thicker it’s a quick and simple fix! To make this Lasagna Soup thicker just cut the broth this recipe calls for from 5 cups down to 2.
You could also thicken it by adding 1/2 cup of heavy cream. A third thickening option is to mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into a small amount of the chicken broth. Afterward, add the thickened broth to the soup.
How To Make Lasagna Soup
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Cook ground beef and diced onion in the hot oil, crumbling the beef as it cooks. Then drain off the excess fat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook.
- Stir in the pasta sauce, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Bring this soup mixture to a boil and then turn the heat down to simmer.
- Boil the lasagna noodles in a separate pan until they become al dente. Then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the al dente noodles to the soup.
- Ladle the Homemade Lasagna Soup into bowls and top with mozzarella cheese, parmesan, ricotta, and/or fresh parsley.
How To Serve & Enjoy Homemade Lasagna Souptem Here
I love serving this soup up with a few sides! Usually, the same sides I often pair with my Homemade Lasagna.
My go-to’s are some form of bread, Easy Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks, and 15-Minute Blue Cheese Garlic Bread are both family favorites! As well as a fresh garden salad filled with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots!
Substitutions & Swaps That You May Find Helpful
- Broth – I make this Lasagna Soup Recipe with chicken broth. However, it can be made with beef broth instead if you prefer.
- Meat – You can make this soup with ground beef, Italian sausage, or ground turkey.
- Cheeses – Feel free to swap the parmesan cheese out for Romano cheese if you’d like! Cottage cheese can also be used instead of ricotta.
- Noodles – Lasagna noodles are used in this soup, but Mafalda pasta or shells would make a great option as well. DO NOT use no-boil noodles in this recipe.
- Sauce – Grab your favorite jar of pasta sauce to use in this recipe. Or even make your family’s favorite recipe!
Storage Instructions For Lasagna Soup
If having leftovers is a possibility, try to plan ahead! To do so, just add the pasta and cheese to individual servings. When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers just add the pasta and cheese to your heated-up soup.
Store the soup in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Can I Just Cook The Noodles In The Soup Instead Of Separately?
You can, but there’s no easy way to cut the noodles down to even sizes. When you cook the pasta separately you can easily cut the al dente noodles with a knife or kitchen shears (affiliate link). If you do decide to prepare the pasta in the soup, you’ll need to add 1 cup of extra broth to the pot.
Then break up the noodles and add them to the soup once the other ingredients have come to a boil. Afterward, continue cooking the soup just until the pasta is al dente.
