Deliciously Unique One Pot Lasagna Soup

What sets this soup apart is the wonderful fusion of Italian flavors in a much lighter, slurpable form. Tender noodles soak up a deeply savory tomato broth while dollops of creamy ricotta and gooey mozzarella melt on top. This one-pot method cleverly combines all the layers—meat, noodles, sauce, and cheese—without the fuss, making it a crowd-pleaser that’s perfect for both quick weeknight meals and casual gatherings.

Perfecting the Brothy Lasagna Base

You’ll start by browning Italian sausage (or ground beef) in your pot to develop a deep, meaty foundation. Onions, garlic, and Italian spices add aromatic complexity. Simmering the crushed tomatoes and broth with broken lasagna noodles results in a soup with bold, layered flavors and just the right hint of herbs. Ricotta and parmesan stirred in at the end give the soup a silky, cheesy touch that’s classic lasagna—in a spoon!

Assembling and Serving Your Lasagna Soup

Once your noodles are tender, the soup is ready for serving. Ladle into bowls and top with a scoop of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and fresh basil for color and brightness. Let everyone swirl the cheese into their bowl for a restaurant-worthy finish. Serve with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
