Lasagna Soup

Lasagna soup combines the hearty flavors of traditional lasagna into a bubbling, tomato-based broth with noodles and melted cheese. The dish is prepared by simmering ingredients together to develop rich flavors, then topped with cheese for a gooey, satisfying finish, resulting in a thick, soupy consistency with a vibrant appearance.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes with juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup uncooked pasta small shapes like mini shells or tubes
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
  • to taste Salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Pour in the broth and crushed tomatoes with their juice, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and add the dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in the uncooked pasta, making sure it's submerged in the broth. Cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Let the cheese melt into the hot soup for a minute or two, then serve immediately. Enjoy the comforting, cheesy goodness with a slice of crusty bread if desired.

Notes

You can add fresh basil or Parmesan for extra flavor. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and feel free to use any pasta shapes you prefer.
