Lasagna Soup is your favorite comfort food served in a bowl and topped with cheesy goodness. Made with fresh spinach, tomatoes, Italian sausage, lasagna, herbs and more, this soup is perfect for the entire family! It cooks in less than 35 minutes.
Comfort food is the best, especially during the fall and winter season! Soup is the best comfort food because it’s warm and hearty. One of our favorite hearty soups is Lasagna Soup. This easy spinach lasagna soup is made with the same flavors as standard lasagna, but it is simmered on the stove with both and a few other fresh ingredients to create a warm and comforting bowl of goodness. Add a scoop of basil and mozzarella ricotta and you have the perfect meal.
How to make spinach lasagna soup
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions.
- Heat olive oil, onions and garlic in a large sauce pan or Dutch oven. Add sausage and cook until browned. You can drain the fat from the sausage now, if desired. Add chicken or vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and all of the seasonings. Boil the mixture and then simmer for about 20 minutes.
- After simmering, add the cooked pasta, fresh spinach and heavy cream. Stir until everything is combined.
- Serve with ricotta cheese mixture and fresh basil. That’s it!
This soup is easily adapted to fit your tastes. Feel free to make adjustments, if desired.
Tips for making lasagna soup
- You can use lean ground beef in large chunks instead of sausage.
- You can omit the spinach, if desired. Although we recommend adding the spinach because it’s a great way to sneak nutrients into the meal.
- Omit the heavy cream to make this soup lighter.
- Use a dairy substitute for the cream and cheese, if desired.
- This soup reheats well and tastes even better as leftovers. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
