DELICIOUSLY EASY LASAGNA SOUP
What is more comforting than a pasta-type soup? This is a fun little twist on lasagna. And like many other soups, you can add in whatever flavors you enjoy. Mushrooms or even ricotta cheese can be added. Make it your own. But it is seriously delicious. And seriously comforting.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SOUP:
- There is a type of pasta called 'Mafalda' pasta. It is shaped like little lasagna noodles. They would be perfect in this.
- This can be made meatless.
- Try switching up the ground beef or with ground Italian sausage. Make it to your family's tastes!
- Try serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese. It adds depth of flavor and texture!

HOW TO MAKE LASAGNA SOUP:
In a large pot, brown and crumble ground beef along with the onion and bell pepper. Add in garlic during the last couple of minutes of cooking so it doesn't burn.
Drain excess grease from the ground beef mixture. Put ground beef back into the pot. Stir in thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, brown sugar, chicken broth, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. 
Stir well and bring mixture up to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and gently simmer for about 20 minutes. Then add in broken lasagna noodles. You'll need about 6 whole lasagna noodles to make about 2 cups broken. Just break them into bite size chunks.
There is a type of pasta called Mafalda pasta. It's actually shaped like little lasagna noodles. But I can't find it in my local grocery stores. But if you can find it near you, then you can use those to substitute.
Simmer until noodles are tender (about 10 or so minutes.) Then stir in parmesan cheese.
Ladle soup into bowls. Then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and serve.
Enjoy!

My 14 yr old son is the pickiest eater EVER and he ate his full bowl and said it was good. I added about double the lasagna noodles and only 1 can of tomatoes since we aren't big fans of them. I have leftovers I'm delivering to my mom and grandma tomorrow still with plenty to take to work for lunch.
My family really enjoyed this Lasagna Soup. Would definitely recommend!
My family doesn’t care for fixed tomatoes. Can I substitute for more tomato sauce or tomato paste for this recipe? Thank you.
Can you make this soup the night before.
I wouldn't suggest it. The noodles will continue to absorb the liquid as it sits and they'll get gummy.
This calls for a pound of beef and 75oz of liquid/canned contents...I’m a bit concerned how big a pot I will need...
This is insanely Awesome. I love lasagna but this is way easier to make and tastes better. I added a ricotta mixture dollop to the center and I am soooooooo impressed
When is the best time to add the ricotta cheese?
Hi Sandra, I add a dollop to each bowl just before serving. 🙂
This looks so yummy and easy too!! A good recipe for cool weather... 🙂 I'll definitely be trying this soon and let you know how much we liked it!! Thanks for all your recipes. 🙂
You are so very sweet - thank you SO much Tess!!
I love all ur recipes but wish when u list ingredients u would give specific measurements of each ingredient! Would really help me!
Hey Sue! The list of exact measurements are at the bottom of each post where the printable recipe is located. 🙂 Hope that helps!
First fall weather soup of the season! My house smells of Italian goodness..❤️
Yay for soup season!! Thank you so much Melissa!!
Great recipe!! This is a keeper!
Yay! Thanks so much Cindy!
I love this recipe.
Thanks so much Lewis!! Happy to hear that!
Just made the soup and I added some grated Pecorino Romano cheese in with the Parmesan shredded cheese and it was delicious and of course with the mozzarella cheese shredded on top with some garlic bread. It is time to dig in.. Thank you so much.
That is so awesome Diana! Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and letting me know how it turned out for you!
Just wondering if one could make this is the crockpot? It looks delicious and can't wait to try it!
This is a good one! I haven't made it in a while, we are having it tonight, thanks for posting!
Thanks so much Sunnie!! Perfect for these cooler days! 🙂 P.S. Love your name!
This looks delish! But, one question: Why chicken broth and not beef broth since there's ground beef in the recipe? I see this a lot in online recipes and I've always wondered. Is it just a personal preference or is it more "scientific" than that? hahaha--thanks!
Hi Heidi!! Totally not scientific - ha! It's just a matter of taste. If you want a super "beefy" taste - then use beef broth or stock. For a milder beef flavor, use chicken stock or broth. Hope that helps! ????
I'm really looking forward to making this soup! Thank you for all or your wonderful recipes! I really look forward to all of them!
You are so sweet! Thank you Sharon!!
When I make lasagna it never fails there are broken noodles in the box and I end up throwing them away. NO MORE! This recipe looks amazing can't wait to try it.
Hope you enjoy! Let us know how it turned out for you.
I made Lasagna Soup for a large group of fire fighters! It was a hit! How do I know? 1. I caught someone licking the pot clean and 2. Several made the comment "Station Mom - this goes in your keeper recipes"
Making this right now. I used minced garlic and onion minus the bell pepper. I also doubled the tomato sauce and seasonings. 🙂 Thanks for the good looking meal!
Sounds wonderful! We aren't big green pepper fans either. Have you tried it with red, yellow or orange peppers. They are much sweeter and tend to not leave us burping them all day. And I love your site. Thank you for the amazing recipes. I look forward to each one!
Oh and I forgot to add, "I love how you link to Pinterest!" I want all my recipes in one place. Wish everyone would follow your lead. Thank you again!
This was SO good!
I was so looking forward to the end of the work day today because I couldn't wait to get home to make this recipe. It did NOT disappoint!! It was absolutely delicious. Lasagna is my all-time favorite meal, so when I saw this...I knew I had to try it. It exceeded my expectations! My fiance loved it too! Even though it was 85 degrees outside today, I enjoyed every last bite! I substituted the beef for ground turkey and I used whole wheat lasagna noodles - turned out great. I just love all of your recipes and I check your website at least twice a week. I wish I was as talented a cook as you - but at least you are making me look good...my fiance thinks I am coming up with these meals on my own...psh!
I made this for dinner tonight. Delicious!
Recipe is delicious!
goog stuff
Just made this tonight...AMAZING!! The only thing I did different was mixing ricotta with parm cheese and pinch of salt and pepper. Then spooned dallop of this mixture in bowl with sprinkle of mozzerella cheese and added soup on top. Stuffed myself silly! This is a keeper.
I love lasagna. I love soup. This is such a keeper! Thanks.
This was delicious - thank you for the recipe. Even my picky eaters liked it!
A bowl of this soup is like a bowl full of looove!
Thanks for the recipe! Everyone loved it! I put a little dollop of ricotta in my soup (no one else in my family likes ricotta) LOL
I love your flag idea. Life is short we should celebrate every thing.
So I was wondering what I was to cook with that lb of ground turkey in the freezer tonight and then this yummy looking recipe popped in my inbox. Thanks for figuring it out for me! It went over we'll with fresh dinner roles!
This Lasagna Soup is delicious! 🙂
Girl that looks delish!!! We are in the 80's again. First cool day/night, I'm on it!
This was really, really good. Hubby raved and he's not even a big soup eater!
Made this exactly to your recipe - perfect!
Thanks for another yummy filling soup recipe. I have a little flag in my yard too, and love it. Of course, I'm a lover of 'stickers' too so anything I can add to dress things up a bit...I'm all for it. Sure hope Gene doesn't knock your flagpole over! =)
I'm a crazy flag lady too! I just got my fall one and was bugging my hubby to hang it up. There was a great amount of eye rolling involved on his part but it's up and I'm a happy girl!!!
