Lasagna Soup

Ingredients & Substitutions

Noodles: For the best results in your Lasagna Soup, opt for Mafalda noodles. This unique noodle option offers the traditional flavor of lasagna noodles, with a visually appealing frill edge. While breaking up traditional lasagna noodles works, it can result in a flattening of the noodles and a loss of their signature appearance.

Meat: I prefer ground beef in this recipe. However, you could certainly substitute other kinds of meat. Try the soup with ground turkey for a leaner alternative, or Italian sausage for a spicier flavor.

Marinara Sauce: Choose from a variety of marinara sauce options or create your own homemade sauce for a truly impressive result.

Broth: I added 4 cups of beef broth to the soup. For a thinner consistency, simply add up to 4 cups of additional broth. If you don’t have beef broth on hand, try using chicken stock or chicken broth for a delicious alternative. Keep in mind that substituting chicken broth for beef broth may result in a slightly different flavor, but your Lasagna Soup will still be delicious.

Cheese: I added cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and mozzarella cheese to the soup. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for a personalized twist. Don’t forget to set aside some cheese (I like parmesan) for a delicious topping.

Variations: Add seasonal vegetables. You can add red and green bell peppers, mushrooms, jalapeno peppers, and even spinach!

Slow-Cooker Lasagna Soup Recipe

To prepare your lasagna soup in a slow cooker, start by browning the meat, onions, and garlic. Then transfer the ingredients to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, excluding the pasta, and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. To finish, add the noodles to the soup 30 minutes prior to serving, checking the texture at 15 minutes to ensure the noodles are al dente. To avoid gummy or sticky noodles, it is best to avoid adding them too far in advance.

How to Store Lasagna Soup

For leftover lasagna soup storage, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to 2-3 days. When ready to enjoy, reheat the soup in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave.

Can I Freeze Lasagna Soup?

Yes. For best results, it’s recommended to freeze the soup without the noodles. This helps prevent the noodles from becoming mushy upon reheating. To enjoy your frozen lasagna soup, simply let it thaw in the refrigerator and then heat it up on the stovetop or in the microwave. To complete the dish, cook the noodles according to the package instructions and add them to the heated soup before serving. This method of storing and reheating the soup allows for up to 3 months of freezer life.

  1. I wonder if cream cheese could be used in place of the heavy cream? Soup looks delicious and easy to make. Also does it freeze well?

  2. This look great! My daughter asks for lasagna every time she gets to pick. For some reason I don’t like making lasagna. I am going to try this and hope she will consider it an adequate substitute. I like your noodle idea too…looks prettier
