Description
Hearty and comforting Italian Lasagna Soup made with sausage, crushed tomatoes, noodles, and rich Italian spices—perfect for cozy weeknights.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
1 lb Italian sausage
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef stock
1 cup water
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
10 sheets dry lasagna pasta, broken in pieces
1 to 2 tbsp fresh basil, torn
Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
Ricotta cheese
Grated parmesan cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Remove sausage from casings if needed and brown it in a large soup pot over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the sausage. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until onions are softened and garlic is fragrant.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef stock, water, Italian seasoning, and broken lasagna noodles. Increase heat to bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook with the lid slightly ajar for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
Stir in fresh basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, topped with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses.
Notes
Adjust the consistency by adding extra water or broth if the soup thickens too much.
For a lighter version, substitute turkey sausage.
Add spinach or zucchini for an extra veggie boost.
This soup reheats well—perfect for meal prep!
