How to Make Easy Creamy Lasagna Soup
-
Cook the Meat – In a large pot, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat for 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
-
Add Garlic – Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add Base – Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Cook the Noodles – Stir in broken lasagna noodles and Italian seasoning. Simmer 10–12 minutes until tender.
-
Make It Creamy – Reduce heat, stir in heavy cream and ricotta. Let warm through.
-
Cheesy Finish – Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella until melted.
-
Serve – Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh basil, and enjoy!
What to Serve With Lasagna Soup
This soup is hearty enough to stand on its own, but pairing it makes it even better:
-
Garlic bread – for dunking into that creamy tomato base.
-
Green salad – a fresh, crisp side to balance the richness.
-
or sparkling lemonade – a perfect way to round out the meal.
Tips for Success
-
Don’t overcook noodles – they’ll keep softening in the hot broth.
-
Save some cheese – sprinkle extra mozzarella or parmesan on top right before serving.
-
Lighten it up – swap heavy cream for milk or half-and-half (though the soup will be less rich).
Storing & Reheating
-
Fridge – Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
-
Freezer – Freeze for up to 3 months (cook noodles separately for best texture).
-
Reheat – Warm gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.
