Kristen's Keys for Lasagna Soup
For a lasagna soup that comes together fast that still delivers immense flavor, pay attention to the following pointers.
- Use flavorful sausage. Italian sausage brings the punch of flavor you expect in lasagna. Chicken, pork, or turkey all work, just be sure it is well seasoned.
- Choose your tomatoes wisely. Using both stewed Italian tomatoes and a good marinara or spaghetti sauce adds depth and makes this quick-cooking soup taste like it simmered for hours.
- Cook pasta directly in the soup. The noodles absorb the broth, which makes every bite taste rich and seasoned.
How to Make Lasagna Soup
While lasagna soup is incredibly easy to make, think of this step-by-step section as having me in the kitchen helping you along the way.
- Brown the sausage over medium-high heat in a large heavy-bottomed stock pan until just lightly golden and nearly cooked through.
- Add in diced onions, carrots, and garlic and sauté 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 the pasta and cook soup until the noodles are soft, with a bit of chew left.
- Finally, stir in the spinach just to wilt and heat through.
Serving Suggestions
To serve Lasagna Soup, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella. Alternatively, take this soup over the top by placing cubed fresh mozzarella at the bottom of each serving bowl then ladle the soup over the cheese. The hot soup will melt the cheese and each bite will be layered with a good amount of gooey cheese!
To round out dinner, serve Lasagna Soup with Homemade Garlic Toast and a Tossed Greek Salad for a delicious, cozy family meal.
