This Lasagna Soup is a hearty, one-pot comfort meal that brings all the rich, cheesy, saucy flavours of classic lasagna into a cosy, slurpable bowl. Perfect for busy weeknights, this simplified version skips the layering and baking but delivers big on taste and family-friendly warmth.
Ingredients
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 lb ground beef
-
1 large onion, diced
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
-
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce or puree
-
⅓ cup tomato paste
-
4 cups chicken broth
-
1–2 cups water (as needed)
-
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
Black pepper, to taste
-
8 oz uncooked bowtie pasta
Optional Toppings:
-
½ cup ricotta cheese
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
-
Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are tender. Drain excess fat.
-
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Add pasta and bring to a boil.
-
Reduce heat and simmer 10–15 minutes, stirring often, until pasta is tender.
-
Add more water or broth if needed to adjust consistency.
-
Serve hot, topped with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh parsley as desired.
Notes
For creamier soup, stir in a dollop of ricotta just before serving.
Broken lasagna noodles work great in place of bowtie pasta.
Add vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrients.
Leftovers may thicken; add broth when reheating to restore soupiness.
Freeze in portions for easy weeknight dinners.
