Steps to Make Lasagna Soup:

1. Cook the Meat: In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and sausage together. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Once browned, drain the excess grease and remove the meat from the pot.

1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
2. Add the Sauce and Spices: Stir in tomato paste, marinara sauce, spices, and broth. Return the cooked meat to the pot and mix well.
3. Incorporate the Lasagna Noodles: Bring the mixture to a boil, then add lasagna noodles broken into quarters. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender. If desired, stir in fresh spinach during the last few minutes of cooking.
4. Prepare the Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each with a generous scoop of the cheese mixture. Garnish with fresh basil for an extra touch of flavor.

Make-Ahead and Freezing Tips for Lasagna soup

• To Prepare Ahead: Follow the recipe up to step 4 but hold off on adding the noodles. Store the soup in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, bring the soup to a boil, add the noodles, and finish the recipe as instructed. Serve with the cheese topping.
• To Freeze: If you plan to freeze the soup, do so without the cheese topping. Transfer the soup to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat slowly on the stovetop. For best results, cook the noodles fresh when you’re ready to serve.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this Lasagna Soup is the perfect way to enjoy all the comforting flavors of classic lasagna in a cozy, one-pot meal. It’s a hearty dish that combines rich tomato broth, tender noodles, savory meats, and a luscious cheese topping for an irresistible dinner that warms both body and soul.

Whether you’re serving it on a cold winter night or preparing it ahead for busy evenings, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. So grab a bowl, add a scoop of that creamy cheese blend, and savor the deliciousness of this easy, satisfying soup!
