Your New Favorite Comfort Food: The Ultimate Easy Creamy Lasagna Soup Recipe
Print Recipe

If you’re craving comfort food but don’t have the time (or patience) to build a full lasagna, this Easy Creamy Lasagna Soup is your new best friend. It has all the flavors you love — rich tomato sauce, tender noodles, savory ground beef, and plenty of gooey cheese — but comes together in one pot and half the time.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, finely diced

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or turkey for a lighter version)

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 jar (25 oz / 700g) tomato basil pasta sauce

  • 1 can (28 oz / 800g) diced tomatoes

  • 4 cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)

  • 2 tsp salt (divided, or to taste)

  • 10–12 lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces

  • ½ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)

For Serving:

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

  • ½ cup grated parmesan

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics:
    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

  • Brown the Meat:
    Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for another minute.

  • Add the Base:
    Pour in pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a boil.

  • Add the Noodles:
    Stir in the broken lasagna noodles and 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15–18 minutes, or until noodles are tender.

  • Make It Creamy:
    Stir in the heavy cream and taste for seasoning. Add more salt or broth if needed.

  • Serve:
    Ladle soup into bowls and top with a spoonful of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella and parmesan, and a few fresh basil leaves.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the noodles: They’ll continue softening in the hot soup even after the heat is off.

  • Add greens: Stir in a handful of spinach or kale during the last 2 minutes for extra nutrition.

  • Make it ahead: The soup base (without noodles or cream) freezes beautifully. Add those when reheating.

  • Extra cheesy? Stir mozzarella directly into the pot before serving for a thicker, richer texture.
