Comforting Lasagna Soup
My take on this viral lasagna soup recipe that is full of flavor and will warm your body and soul.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey or beef seasoned
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 4 or 5 cups beef or chicken broth
- 2 15 ounce can of tomato sauce or canned/jarred spaghetti sauce
- 1 16 ounce can of tomato paste
- 8 sheets uncooked lasagna noodles
- ½ cup whipping cream
- mozzarella cheese as you prefer
Optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup onion chopped
- ¼ cup bell pepper chopped
Instructions
- Brown your ground turkey or beef and season with your favorite seasonings.
- Drain your grease from the meat.
- Add optional aromatics now, then add the broth, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
- Once you've got a good boil going, lower to a simmer and add the noodles to cook thoroughly.
- Add the whipping cream a few minutes before turning off the heat and stir in.
- Serve in a bowl topped with your favorite garnishes or with a side of garlic bread.
Notes
- Season your meat generously, but don't forget the layers. Add a pinch during browning and another when you introduce the sauce – it builds a whole new level of flavors.
- Adding uncooked lasagna noodles directly to the pot is a game-changer. It absorbs the flavors as it cooks, making each bite a taste of lasagna perfection.
- When adding whipping cream, whip it into the soup gently. This creates a luxurious, velvety texture.
- If you're adding pesto, do it just before serving. This preserves the vibrant flavors and ensures a fresh, herby kick.
