Notes
Expert Tips
- Cooking Noodles in Soup - Be careful not to overcook the noodles in the soup, as they can get too soft. Check for tenderness around 8 minutes.
- Large Pot Recommendation - We recommend cooking Lasagna soup in a Dutch Oven or a large pot to hold the large serving of soup. Continue stirring the soup as it cooks to make sure the soup is mixed together.
- Noodles - You can easily break the noodles up by hand. They noodles do not have to be the perfect size.
Variation Ideas
- Change Pasta - Feel free to use other type of pasta such as bow-tie pasta or penne pasta.
- Meat Variation - You can make this lasagna soup with ground turkey instead of ground beef. We have even made it with half Italian Sausage and half Ground Beef.
- Heavy Cream - If you prefer a creamy texture, add in heavy cream. This also helps to thicken the consistency as well.
- Tomatoes - If you are do not have crushed tomatoes, add in diced tomatoes, marinara sauce and tomato paste.
- Seasoning - Substitute the dried seasoning with Italian Seasoning for an easy substitute. We have even added in 1/2 tsp of fresh parsley, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes for a spicy flavor.
- Veggies - This is a great soup to sneak in vegetables. We like to add in a cup of chopped bell peppers and fresh spinach towards the end of cooking time for amazing taste.
