One Pot 30-Minute Lasagna Soup
A hearty, quick and easy lasagna soup made with ground beef, mushrooms, and finished with lasagna noodles and cheese!
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.
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.
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!
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.

Making now and subbed ground Turkey as that is what I had and also used Gemelli Garofalo noodles as that is also what I had and it’s snowing here in Michigan!!!! I did not have mushrooms but I love them and my husband dislikes them so I know that would only make this receipt better. I’ll confess I used a can of tomato soup and a whole small can of paste. I am a use the recipe as a guideline and have some phone with experimentation!!! Create Enjoy! We are!! Yum thanks for this wonderful idea to make a fast easy lasagna/soup!
I do similar w stuffed cabbage galaptkis I rice the cabbage and put all in a pot and make a goulash taste is same and much easier and labor intensive. I’d rather have more time to enjoy the fish and the company than the preppy!⭐️🌟⭐️🌟✨
The perfect soup for a snow day!
Delicious and so easy to make
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!
I’m go glad you love it!!
