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!

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!!!
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! =)
Made this exactly to your recipe - perfect!
This was really, really good. Hubby raved and he's not even a big soup eater!
Girl that looks delish!!! We are in the 80's again. First cool day/night, I'm on it!
This Lasagna Soup is delicious! 🙂
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!
I love your flag idea. Life is short we should celebrate every thing.
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
A bowl of this soup is like a bowl full of looove!
This was delicious - thank you for the recipe. Even my picky eaters liked it!
I love lasagna. I love soup. This is such a keeper! Thanks.
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.
goog stuff
Recipe is delicious!
I made this for dinner tonight. Delicious!
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!
This was SO good!
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!
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!
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"
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'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!!
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! ????
