lasagna soup There’s everything you love about lasagna, all in one bowl. Using many of the ingredients found in my top-rated lasagna recipe, this soup is packed with ground beef, Italian sausage, crushed tomatoes, spinach, ricotta and Parmesan cheese, and topped with fresh basil. Lasagna soup is a perfect night soup for a warm stomach on a cold winter night! Serve with garlic bread and salad on the side!

But wait, what is lasagna soup?

Lasagna soup combines the ingredients of traditional lasagna and turns into a delicious soup, ready in half the time. Lasagna soup has pasta, ground meat or sausage (or both!), and cheese in a tomato-based soup, along with vegetables like onion and garlic, and often garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

What type of pasta is best for lasagna soup?

I used broken lasagna noodles for this recipe. You can use any type of pasta in lasagna soup, but some popular choices include Pasta from Falda (which look like perfect little lasagna noodles), small shells or broken lasagna noodles. Gluten-free pasta can also be used. Ultimately, the type of pasta you use is a matter of personal preference.

Storing leftover lasagna soup

To store any leftover soup in the fridge, let the soup cool to room temperature, then place in an airtight container. Soup should stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you feel that you will definitely have leftover lasagna soup, it is better to cook the pasta separately and add the desired amount to each bowl at the time of serving. This will ensure that the noodles do not overcook while you reheat and reheat. Again, this is entirely personal preference.

freeze, Let the soup cool to room temperature. Transfer soup to a container or a sealed, freezer-safe bag. Soup will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to heat the soup, you can thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave. After that, heat the soup on the stove or in the microwave until it is hot.
