This Lasagna Soup Recipe is an incredibly delicious and hearty meal you can easily whip up in less than an hour. It has everything you love about lasagna, without all the work. This cozy soup is a huge hit, every time.
Toppings, highly recommended: Ricotta cheese, freshly shredded parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 bunch of freshly torn basil leaves
Instructions
In a large heavy pot, heat olive oil to medium-high heat. Once hot, add onions and garlic, stirring for 1 or 2 minutes until translucent and aromatic. Add ground sausage, breaking it up as you brown it; cook until no longer pink and nicely browned. Add oregano, red pepper flakes (start with less and add more later if needed) and tomato paste, stirring to combine mixture well for 1 minute.
Add cans of fire roasted tomatoes with juices, chicken broth, 1 cup fresh parmesan, and bay leaves. Stir to combine well. Bring mixture to a boil, and immediately reduce to a low boil. Simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes. When soup is done, taste and add salt or crushed red pepper as needed.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a pot of well-salted water just until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain pasta in a colander but do not rinse. Immediately return drained pasta back into the same pot it cooked in. Generously drizzle with enough olive oil to prevent sticking (I use about 2 TB oil.) Cover and keep noodles warm until soup is done simmering.
Divide noodles into bowls and ladle soup over the noodles. Garnish each bowl with a generous spoonful of ricotta, and sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Sprinkle freshly torn basil leaves on top of each bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
If you have leftovers, keep the noodles and soup separate until it's time for serving. Just rewarm and serve when ready.
