One Pot Lasagna Soup
This One Pot Lasagna Soup combines all the classic flavors of lasagna into a warm, comforting dish that’s quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
For the soup base
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt plus more as needed
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the soup
- 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 32 oz chicken broth more if needed
- 1 cup water
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 6 oz lasagna noodles, broken up
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Ricotta cheese for topping
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
- Parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and let it brown. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Allow the beef to get some nice browned bits before draining any excess grease.
- Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, letting the onion soften.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Add the broken lasagna noodles and stir. Raise the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered, until the spinach is warmed and the soup is creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
- To serve, place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of your bowl. Ladle the hot lasagna soup over the cheese so it melts. Top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan if using.
Notes
Feel free to adjust spices according to your taste. For a vegetarian version, swap the ground beef for lentils. If you don’t have heavy cream, substitute with milk or leave it out for a lighter version.
