this Recipe

I have to admit, I’ve always loved lasagna, but let’s be real—it’s work. All that layering, waiting for it to bake, and then somehow keeping it looking picture-perfect when you cut into it? It’s basically the Olympic event of dinner.

A few months ago, I was hit with a major lasagna craving. It was one of those chilly evenings when all you want is something warm, hearty, and familiar. But I didn’t have the patience (or energy) for traditional lasagna. So, I thought, Why not turn it into a soup? One pot, no layers, same cozy flavors.

The first time I made this One Pot Lasagna Soup, my family literally cleaned their bowls and asked for seconds before I’d even sat down to eat. That’s when I knew this wasn’t just a one-off recipe. Now, anytime we need an easy comfort meal—especially one that leaves me with minimal dishes—this soup is my go-to.

Pro Tip: If you’re feeding a crowd, double the recipe—it’s even better the next day.

How To Make One Pot Lasagna Soup?

Here’s how to whip up One Pot Lasagna Soup without breaking a sweat:

1. Brown the Meat
   Start with a big ol’ pot (you’ll need the space). Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together until they’re cooked through. Drain any extra fat—because nobody wants greasy soup.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
   Toss in your chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, and let it cook for a minute. Your kitchen will smell amazing.
3. Add the Tomato Paste
   Stir in the tomato paste until everything is coated. This step gives the soup a richer, more intense flavor.
4. Pour in the Broth and Sauce
   Add the chicken broth and pasta sauce, stirring until combined. If your sauce feels a little tangy, add a pinch of sugar—it’s like magic for balancing flavors.
5. Break and Boil the Noodles
   Toss in the broken lasagna noodles and let everything simmer. Stir occasionally to keep the noodles from sticking. Cook until the noodles are tender and soaked in all that delicious broth.
6. Cheesy Finish
   Top the soup with shredded mozzarella and parmesan. Cover the pot for a few minutes to let the cheese melt into gooey, stringy perfection.
7. Serve and Savor
   Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with more parmesan if you’re feeling extra (and why not?), and dig in.

Storage Options:

Here’s how to keep those leftovers tasting just as good as the first bowl:

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if it thickened overnight.
• Freezer: Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat when you’re ready.

Variations and Substitutions:

This soup is practically begging to be customized. Here are some ideas:

• Vegetarian Version: Swap the meat for mushrooms, zucchini, or lentils.
• Spicy Kick: Use hot Italian sausage or add crushed red pepper flakes.
• Different Pasta: No lasagna noodles? Try penne, rotini, or even broken spaghetti.
• Cheese Swap: Ricotta, provolone, or even a dollop of mascarpone would work beautifully.

What to Serve with One Pot Lasagna Soup?

While this soup is hearty enough to stand alone, a few extras never hurt:

• Garlic Bread: Because you need something to mop up that broth.
• Caesar Salad: Crisp, tangy, and the perfect counterpoint to the richness.
• Red Wine: A good Chianti or Merlot pairs beautifully.
• Extra Parmesan: Honestly, can you ever have too much cheese?
