A hearty, quick and easy lasagna soup made with ground beef, mushrooms, and finished with lasagna noodles and cheese!

Lasagna Soup

The cool thing about my job is, if I feel like eating something, I create it. And for whatever reason, I’ve had lasagna soup on the brain for months. So naturally, here you have it. Lasagna soup FOR THE WIN. 

Lasagna Soup

Believe it or not, lasagna is one of my favorite foods. It’s not something I eat often, and I rarely make it at home but OMG do I love it. It’s my definition of pure comfort food. Why not turn it into a soup? So I did. 

Lasagna Soup

I chose to keep it pretty simple, which is how I like my lasagna anyway, but you could spruce it up and add whatever veggies you like, or use any type of meat. I used ground beef, but you could use ground turkey, or even chicken sausage would be great! 

Lasagna Soup

The secret to this soup is the toppings/mix-ins. It’s ALL about the cheese on top. Swirling in a scoop of ricotta, and a sprinkle of mozzarella is what takes this ordinary soup to extraordinary. I mean, can you even handle that cheesy goodness?

I love this dish for a cozy weeknight meal (all made in 1 pot), or for a special occasion when you want to impress a crowd or your loved ones. It’s the coziest way to close out 2018. What a year, my friends. Let’s finish strong.
