Notes on Ingredients

This soup does have quite a few ingredients, but most of them are pantry staples you probably have on hand. There are a few things to note on the ingredients so that you can have the best-tasting lasagna soup.

• Sausage: Be sure to use Italian-style bulk sausage. Chicken, pork, or turkey, are all great options.
• Stock: Either chicken stock or vegetable broth work in this recipe.
• Pasta: You can use any pasta noodle you like. I prefer to use lasagna noodles broken into 1 to 2-inch pieces, but corkscrew, rotini, or elbow noodles work just as well.
• Spaghetti Sauce: While you can use plain canned tomato sauce, I HIGHLY suggest using a jarred marinara, spaghetti sauce, or homemade spaghetti sauce, as those both lend so much more flavor to the soup.
• Stewed Tomatoes: Italian-style stewed tomatoes are highly seasoned and add great flavor to the soup. Diced tomatoes can be used if that is all you have on hand.
• Spinach: Feel free to use defrosted frozen spinach in place of fresh spinach, just add sauce and tomatoes to simmer longer. Baby kale is also able to be substituted for spinach.
• Cheese: Fresh mozzarella and freshly grated parmesan both go a long way to making this soup feel spectacular. However, feel free to use shredded Mozzarella cheese or omit the cheese altogether, for a dairy-free version.

How to Make Lasagna Soup

• Brown Italian sausage over medium-high heat in a large heavy-bottomed stock pan until just cooked through.
• Add in diced onions, carrots, and garlic and saute for 3 to 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
• At this point, you can drain off excess grease if needed. This will depend on the fat content of the sausage you use for this recipe.

• Add in stock, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings.
• Bring soup to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the broth to develop flavor and the carrots to soften.

• Add in 1 cup pasta of choice and fresh spinach.
• Cook soup until the noodles are soft, with a bit of chew left.

• Instead of topping with shredded Mozzarella cheese, place cubed fresh mozzarella at the bottom of each serving dish then ladle the soup over the cheese. And then to really add flavor, top with freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. The hot soup will melt the cheese and each bite will be layered with a good amount of gooey cheese!
