Lasagna Soup brings all the cozy, cheesy flavors of classic lasagna to a hearty bowl. Ground beef, marinara, broth, and broken lasagna noodles simmer together on the stovetop, then each serving gets a creamy ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan topping. Ready in about 45 minutes, it’s an easy comfort-food dinner for six.

Ingredients

For the Soup

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 32 ounces marinara sauce
  • 48 ounces beef broth
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into medium pieces

For the Cheese Topping

  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef.

    Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.

  2. Add the broth and marinara.

    Pour the marinara sauce and beef broth into the pot with the browned beef. Stir to combine.

  3. Cook the noodles.

    Add the broken lasagna noodles and stir them into the soup. Cook over medium heat for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

  4. Mix the cheese topping.

    Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from the heat. In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta or cottage cheese, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  5. Serve.

    Ladle the soup into bowls and add a scoop of the cheese mixture to each serving. Stir the topping into the hot soup and enjoy.

Notes

  • Break the lasagna noodles into medium pieces so they’re easy to eat in a spoonful.
  • Stir the soup occasionally while the noodles cook to help prevent them from sticking to the pot.
  • Ricotta gives the topping a classic lasagna flavor, while cottage cheese is a suitable alternative.
  • For the best texture, serve soon after the noodles are tender; they will continue to absorb broth as the soup sits.
