Easy Lasagna Soup
From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
This easy lasagna soup is the perfect way to keep warm this fall and winter. It's the ultimate comfort food.
This recipe was making its rounds like crazy on social media a few years ago. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make it and Im so glad that I did.
Of course, I put my own little spin on it and made it my own to suit my families preferences. They all couldn't have loved it more.
What a delicious way to get all of the familiar flavors of lasagna in an easy to make soup. It's brilliant!
Comfort food and cold weather go hand in hand. As soon as the temperature starts to drop in New Jersey we're ready for our soups and chilis.
Im always looking to add new recipes to the collection and this one earned a permanent spot on the list immediately. Especially since it got approval from my two picky kids.
Lasagna is a family favorite of ours in my house but making it can be kind of a hassle. Between preparing all of the ingredients and the time consuming layering, It's a tedious process for sure.
This recipe takes all the fuss out of the equation and gets straight to the good stuff. It takes less than half the time that it normally takes me to make a traditional lasagna.
It's the perfect busy weekday dinner that the whole family is guaranteed to enjoy.
I hope you give this recipe a try, If you do, I know you'll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Easy Lasagna Soup Variations
I like this recipe for lasagna soup made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you'd like to.
- Tomato Sauce- Use a good jarred sauce Raoes or Victorias or your own tomato sauce recipe. I have a great recipe for Simple Tomato Sauce if you'd like to use that, click HERE.
- Pasta- In most recipes broken up lasagna sheets are used. It is lasagna soup after all. I used Campanelle because it looks similar to the wavy ends of traditional lasagna sheets and makes it easier to eat in my opinion. Fell free to use whatever you'd like. Any pasta would work fine.
- Heavy Cream- Alfredo sauce can be substituted for heavy cream. I have an easy and delicious recipe for Alfredo Sauce HERE or you can use your own or a good jarred alfredo.
- Ground Meat- Ground chicken or turkey can be used here instead of ground beef.
