All the cozy flavors of classic lasagna — in soup form. Hearty tomato broth, tender noodles, Italian sausage, and melty cheese come together in this rich, comforting one-pot meal.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb Italian sausage or ground beef
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken or beef broth
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 bay leaf
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
½ cup ricotta
½ cup shredded mozzarella
¼ cup grated Parmesan
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Heat oil in large pot. Sauté onion and garlic until soft.
Add meat; cook until browned. Drain if needed.
Stir in tomato paste, seasonings, and pepper flakes.
Add broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Simmer 10–15 mins.
Stir in pasta; cook until al dente (10–12 mins).
Remove bay leaf. Adjust seasoning.
Ladle into bowls. Top with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and herbs. Serve hot.
For leftovers, store pasta and soup separately to avoid soggy noodles. Freeze without pasta and cheese toppings.
