    Easy Lasagna Soup Ingredients

    The full recipe is at the bottom of this page, but here's a quick overview of what you'll need & how to make it:

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • 1 pound lean ground beef
    • 1 medium yellow onion, diced 
    • 5 cloves garlic, minced
    • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
    • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth 
    • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
    • 2 teaspoons dried basil
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
    • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into quarters  
    • ½ cup shredded mozzarella

    Popular Substitutions & Additions

    • Italian seasoning: swap out the basil and oregano for 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning to flavor your soup if preferred.
    • Noodles: if needed, you can substitute any medium noodle for lasagna noodles (like penne, ziti, rotini, rigatoni).
    • Meat: ground turkey or sausage are also tasty in this recipe instead of beef.

    How to Make This Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe

    STEP 1: In a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, brown and crumble the beef until cooked, about 7 - 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside the beef.

    STEP 2: Add another tablespoon of oil to your pot. Once hot, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 - 4 minutes. 

    STEP 3: Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the tomato paste.

    STEP 4: Add the cooked beef, broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the pot. Stir to mix.

    STEP 5: Bring the pot to a boil and add the noodles, roughly broken into fourths. Lightly boil, uncovered, for 8 - 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked. Stir occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pot and keeping the noodles submerged.

    STEP 6: Stir in the mozzarella and until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add additional chicken broth if a thinner soup is desired.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long should I cook the lasagna noodles for?

    Cook the lasagna noodles for 8 - 10 minutes, until they are cooked al dente. The noodles should still have some slight firmness so that they don't become mushy in the soup.

    Can I cook the lasagna noodles separately?

    Yes, you can also cook your lasagna noodles separately. Cook the noodles according to your package's instructions; and while they cook, lightly simmer your soup for the same amount of time. Add the noodles to your soup just before serving.

    How can I make my soup thinner?

    If you would prefer a thinner soup, add additional chicken broth (or water) at the end of the recipe.
