The cold days and nights of winter call for a warm bowl of soup. Creamy Broccoli and Cheese Soup, Creamy Green Enchilada Chicken Soup, and Split Pea with Ham are all favorites of my personal chef clients. My lasagna soup is a favorite of my Italian food loving clients.

how to make lasagna soup
Soup recipes are some of my favorite ones to prepare. These one pot recipes blend the flavors of the ingredients together for so much deliciousness! And they are a snap to make too!
- Grab a large stock pot and sauté the Italian sausage.
- Add in the chopped shallot, garlic, and red bell pepper ~ sauté for a few more minutes.
- Stir in the Italian spice blend, chicken stock, canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broken lasagna noodles, kosher salt, and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer.
- Serve in large shallow bowls topped with ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
top tips
- Choose either sweet or hot Italian sausage ~ whichever is your favorite!
- Shallots are the little milder cousin of the other onions. A good substitute is yellow onion.
- I always have a few lasagna noodles left after making lasagna so they are perfect to use in soup. But other pasta shapes such as rotini, farfalle, and orecchiette can be used in Lasagna Soup.
- The noodles cook right in the soup to soak up all the goodness. Cover the pot the last 5 minutes of simmering the soup to help the noodles finish cooking.
what to serve with lasagna soup
Soups are always a hit on a cold night, and a couple of seasonal side dishes will complement the meal.
Pair this One Pot Hearty Lasagna Soup with a crisp salad of romaine lettuce, shaved fennel and sliced oranges that is drizzled with a light vinaigrette. Sprinkle a few crunchy crostini with a bit of Parmesan cheese. Pop them in a 400-degree F oven for 5 minutes for a complete the meal.
