A creamy, hearty lasagna soup with tender noodles, savory meat, and rich tomato-cream broth — all the classic lasagna flavors in a cozy, one-pot meal.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
5 cups beef or chicken broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried oregano
1 bay leaf
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
¾ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup ricotta cheese (for serving)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
In a large pot, brown the meat. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add onion and cook 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook 1–2 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, broth, herbs, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Add broken noodles and simmer 12–15 minutes until al dente.
Lower heat and stir in cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Remove bay leaf.
Season to taste. Serve with a dollop of ricotta and fresh herbs.
To make ahead, cook noodles separately and store apart. Freeze base without dairy or pasta and add those fresh when reheating.
