Ingredients

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Garnish

  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish
  • Vegan ricotta or cashew cream, for topping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Add diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some texture.
  3. Add Herbs: Stir in dried oregano, basil, and thyme. Cook for an additional minute to release their flavors.
  4. Simmer Soup Base: Pour in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and marinara sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 15-20 minutes to blend the flavors, stirring occasionally.
  5. Cook Noodles: While the soup simmers, cook the broken lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Divide the cooked noodles evenly among serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup over the noodles to combine.
  7. Garnish and Enjoy: Top each bowl with chopped fresh basil leaves and a dollop of vegan ricotta or cashew cream if desired for extra creaminess. Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy Vegan Lasagna Soup.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute lasagna noodles with gluten-free pasta.
  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrients.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth or simmer longer.
  • Vegan ricotta or cashew cream adds creaminess but can be omitted for a lighter soup.
  • This soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
