How to Make Cozy Creamy Lasagna Soup: A Warm Bowl of Fall Comfort

1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
2. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir in dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Once boiling, break the no-boil lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender.
5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese until the soup is creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with remaining shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
7. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping and enjoy your cozy creamy lasagna soup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use no-boil lasagna noodles to save time; breaking them into smaller pieces helps them cook evenly in the soup.
• Simmer gently to prevent noodles from overcooking and becoming mushy.
• For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
• Substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for beef for a different flavor profile.
• Leftover soup thickens as it cools; add a splash of broth or water when reheating to loosen it.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, gently reheat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.

This soup also freezes well. Transfer cooled soup to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating slowly on the stove, adding broth if needed to restore its creamy consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this soup vegetarian?

Yes! Simply omit the ground beef and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth. You can add sautéed mushrooms or lentils for extra texture and protein.

Do I have to use no-boil lasagna noodles?

No, but no-boil noodles save time and cook perfectly in the soup. If using regular lasagna noodles, cook them separately until al dente and add them just before serving to avoid mushiness.

Can I prepare this soup ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can make the soup up to two days in advance and store it in the fridge. Reheat gently and add fresh cheese and basil when serving for the best flavor.

What other cheeses work well in this soup?

Ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan are classic, but you can also try provolone or fontina for a different creamy flavor. Just be sure to add meltable cheeses toward the end of cooking.
