Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • While the soup is simmering, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Once the soup has simmered, add the cooked lasagna noodles to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the noodles into the soup.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and aroma.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Tips for Making the Perfect Lasagna Soup

To ensure your Lasagna Soup turns out perfectly every time, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
  1. Brown the ground beef: Browning the ground beef before adding the other ingredients adds flavor and helps prevent clumping.
  2. Don’t overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles until they are al dente (firm to the bite). They will continue to cook slightly when added to the hot soup, so slightly undercooking them will prevent them from becoming mushy.
  3. Let the flavors meld: Allowing the soup to simmer for at least 15 minutes helps the flavors develop and meld together for a more delicious result.
  4. Adjust the seasoning: Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
  5. Store leftovers properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will continue to develop, making the soup even more flavorful.
By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a Lasagna Soup that is both delicious and satisfying.
