How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delicious Lasagna Soup:
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.
- If there’s excess fat, drain it off. Then, stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Next, toss in your uncooked bowtie pasta and bring everything to a bubbly boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes. Remember to stir often to avoid any noodle clumps!
- If the soup gets too thick, add a bit of water to reach your desired consistency. The broth should be cozy, not gloopy.
- Finally, scoop the soup into bowls and swirl in the creamy ricotta, gooey mozzarella, and punchy parmesan. Top with fresh parsley for a pop of color!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Lasagna Soup turns out perfectly:
- Feel free to substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Add in some chopped spinach or zucchini for extra veggies and nutrition.
- If you love garlic, consider adding an extra clove or two for that delicious flavor.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes!
- This soup is great for meal prep; just store the pasta separately to keep it from getting soggy.
How to Serve
This Lasagna Soup is perfect on its own, but you can elevate your meal with some delicious sides:
- Serve with a slice of crusty garlic bread for dipping.
- Pair it with a fresh salad drizzled with your favorite dressing.
- For a fun twist, top with extra cheese and broil for a few minutes until bubbly!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prepare this soup in advance, it’s super easy! Just follow these tips:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, let the soup cool completely, then transfer it to freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it up, especially if the pasta has absorbed too much liquid.
So there you have it! My Best Lasagna Soup Recipe is not only a delightful twist on traditional lasagna but also a fantastic option for weeknight dinner ideas.
