Lasagna Soup

December 28, 2018 by Life is but a Dish 4 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Lasagna SoupThe 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 SoupBelieve 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 SoupI 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 SoupThe 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.

Description

A hearty lasagna soup made with ground beef, mushrooms, and finished with lasagna noodles and 3 cheeses! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, small dice
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces mushroom, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth or stock
  • 1 cup your favorite marinara sauce
  • 1/4 pound lasagna noodles, broken into bite size pieces ((about 4–5 noodles))
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Garnishes

  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ricotta cheese
  • chopped basil

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium/high heat. Add oil, onion, a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes until onions begin to soften. Add the ground beef and begin to break it up with a wooden spoon. 
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, pinch of pepper, garlic powder, oregano and thyme and cook meat until no longer pink (about 5 minutes), breaking it up as it cooks. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. 
  3. Remove meat from the pot and set aside while you cook the mushrooms. If pan is very dry add another tablespoon of oil. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes. 
  4. Add the cooked meat back into the pot and combine with the mushrooms. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, chicken stock and marinara sauce. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and add the lasagna noodles. Simmer until noodles are cooked through, stirring occasionally (about 10-15 minutes). 
  5. Once noodles are cooked, turn off the heat and stir in chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese and if needed, a little more salt and pepper to taste. 
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and serve with a scoop of ricotta cheese, a large pinch of shredded mozzarella, a sprinkle of grated parmesan and some chopped basil. Enjoy immediately!

    So delicious! I’m surprised I’m the first one to comment on this! I feel like this is definitely going to be a regular meal in my house. I changed out the beef for ground turkey (to lessen calories) and left out the mushrooms. This ended up being a pretty low calorie meal! And the portion size was really good! I really appreciate how creative this is as well. So different! Thanks for the great recipe!

“On the other side of fear is freedom.” ⁣
⁣
One of my favorite quotes from @jensincero 🙌🏼⁣
⁣
Isn’t this just the truest of truths?⁣
⁣
SO much of what holds us back in life is based in fear. ⁣
⁣
Fear of failure.⁣
Fear of not being enough.⁣
Fear of struggle.⁣
Fear of pain.⁣
⁣
Sure, getting what you want and going after your dreams isn’t always easy. But, what if I told you that directly on the other side of that mountain of fear is complete and utter freedom? 🤩⁣
⁣
Freedom to believe in yourself.⁣
Freedom to be who you want.⁣
Freedom to rise above the rest.⁣
⁣
Guess what else lies within freedom?⁣
⁣
CONFIDENCE.⁣
⁣
Don’t you dare underestimate the power of confidence. ⁣
⁣
Confidence allows you to do things you never thought possible. ⁣
⁣
Confidence opens up so many doors for you to explore. ⁣
⁣
Confidence = Freedom.⁣
⁣
And both of those things are waiting for you on the other side of that mountain. ⁣
⁣
Today is the LAST DAY to get on the Cook with Confidence waitlist. If you’re on it, you get early access to the application which goes out tomorrow morning! ⁣
⁣
Don’t sleep on it. Let’s do this together. ⁣
⁣

Spoiler Alert:🚨It’s never the right time. ⁣ Spoiler Alert:🚨It’s never the right time. ⁣
⁣
There’s never gonna be the perfect time to go after your goals, make the change, take the leap or do that one scary thing you’ve been thinking about. Life will keep happening. There will always be a reason to not.⁣
⁣
But what if? What if you decided right now to make it work? What if you decided to prioritize that thing you KNOW will change your life (and the lives of others) forever? ⁣
⁣
What if I told you that in 8 weeks (think about how short that is in the grand scheme), you could feel confident enough in the kitchen to feed yourself and your family healthy, delicious meals that they begged for over and over again. ⁣
⁣
How would that make you feel? Truly... I want you to take a second to think about how you would feel knowing that you and your family were actually excited about the next meal. So excited that they go back for seconds and request it again the next night. Feels pretty good, huh? ⁣
⁣
Feels pretty awesome to put yourself first for a change because guess what? When you put yourself first, everybody wins. ⁣
⁣
When you shine, everybody lights up. Confidence is something we all have within us, sometimes we just need a little help finding it. ⁣
⁣
If you are someone who feels overwhelmed, lost or anxious in the kitchen, I am here to help. In fact, my gift in life is helping people overcome those feelings in the kitchen which ultimately bleeds into other areas of their life, lighting up the people around them. ⁣
⁣
Cook with Confidence is my 8-week high touch, virtual program that helps busy home cooks build confidence in the kitchen and learn how to cook delicious meals without being tied to a recipe. This is NOT your average cooking program. ⁣
⁣
This is NOT a program that hands you a list of ingredients or meal plans and sends you on your merry way. ⁣
⁣
This IS a program that dives deep into the fundamental skills that it takes to achieve ultimate kitchen freedom. Everything from kitchen essentials, to knife skills, to chicken, fish, soup, pasta and more. This IS a program that will change your life. ⁣
⁣
Applications open on Monday for waitlist only so get on it! Stop waiting, the time is now. ♥️

LOOK WHAT I MADE! My first 6-braid challah! 😍⁣
⁣
I’ve been super inspired by this new book JEW-ish by @jakecohen. ⁣
⁣
I love his story, the why behind the book and of course, the recipes!⁣
⁣
Jew-ish is the perfect way to describe how I grew up. Sure, I was raised Jewish, we celebrated all the big holidays and I had a Bat Mitzvah, but I never really built a strong connection with Judaism itself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve learned most everything I know about Judaism through having kids and learning alongside them. It’s been a beautiful journey for me and this book has inspired me to continue learning, celebrating and being proud. ✡️⁣
⁣
@jakecohen writes about making Shabbat and Jewish traditions whatever you want them to be without the pressure of making it perfect. He also teaches you how to make this challah! For me, food is what brings us all together and BOOM CLAP it doesn’t get more Jewish than this big ass challah! ⁣
⁣
Let’s do a GIVEAWAY to celebrate! ⁣
⁣
Enter for a chance to win a copy of @jakecohen book JEW-ISH.⁣
