Lasagna Soup Recipe

Did someone say lasagna soup?

You know, sometimes we even amaze ourselves! We certainly did with this dish. Our 2 minute take™ on a favorite Italian classic was so scrumptious and satisfying, you’ll definitely want to make this a staple in your recipe collection.

This lasagna soup was a big hit with the family… the only complaint was that we didn’t make enough for leftovers! The big chunks of lasagna noodles had a perfect chewy texture and were swimming in a rich tomato broth; it was sheer heaven. When we added a scoop of creamy parmesan ricotta in the center of the dish, it just took our breath away!

There are a variety of ways to prepare traditional lasagna. It can be made vegetarian using fresh vegetables and a variety of cheeses or with any type of meat such as beef, turkey, chicken or pork. The sky is the limit when it comes to this versatile dish. So whether you use the traditional ingredients or something exciting like a spicy enchilada flavor – be creative, have fun and turn it into any easy soup for a weekday meal. Enjoy!
