My mother in law sent me this recipe and it has become a staple in my household. I love that these are all pantry items. I freeze ground beef so if I am ever in a pinch and can’t get to the grocery store, I have all the items I need to make this delicious soup. Thank you for the recipe!

Warm, comforting, and satisfying. That’s what a big bowl of soup is all about, right? That’s what I think, and I can proudly say that THIS soup has all of those bases covered.
One-pot lasagna soup is rich, meaty, and full of tender noodles. When I top it with smooth ricotta cheese, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of fresh basil, then I’ve made a meal my family raves about!
How To Make One-Pot Lasagna Soup
Ingredients
- To layer in flavor, we’ll start with ground beef, then add onions and garlic.
- You’ll also need tomato paste, Italian seasoning, canned crushed tomatoes, and vegetable stock.
- This soup also includes lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and fresh basil to resemble traditional lasagna.
Recipe Variations
- For a little kick, feel free to add red pepper flakes.
- For a little higher protein, you can swap cottage cheese for a dollop of ricotta cheese.
- Sneak in some extra veggies to this soup by adding in mushrooms or bell peppers.
Step By Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add tomato paste and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 minute. Carefully pour in tomatoes and vegetable stock. Stir. Bring the soup up to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Add lasagna noodles and simmer for 15 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add water.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with a spoonful of ricotta and a sprinkle of Parmesan. If desired, sprinkle with fresh basil.
Donya’s Tips For Making Lasagna Soup
- I use lean ground beef for this recipe. The meat has less grease, yet it provides yummy flavor. You could also add Italian sausage for an even more savory flavor.
- Use good canned tomatoes. I love San Marzano crushed tomatoes and their rich, full tomato taste. I also use them in my homemade marinara sauce for Three Cheese Stuffed Shells.
- If you want to make this soup ahead of time, follow the directions until you add the noodles. Since the pasta will absorb a fair amount of liquid, it’s best to add the lasagna noodles before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can. Since the beef has a much richer flavor, you’ll want to taste and adjust the seasoning. If chicken or turkey is used, you might need to add more seasoning flavor.
I recommend using lasagna noodles to keep this recipe true to its roots. You could use other heartier pasta like farfalle, or rotini if needed.
If you are lucky enough to have some leftovers, store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
What To Serve With Lasagna Soup
A big bowl of this hearty soup is so good with Garlic Parmesan Skillet Rolls or Garlic Knots for dipping. You can also pair it with this super simple caprese salad for a cooling complement to the warm soup.

This recipe was amazing! I added a little bit of half and half instead of using all of the vegetable broth! I am so excited to have the soup for the next few days, thank you for the recipe! I was wondering if adding spinach could be good in the future maybe?
Thanks for the terrific rating! Sure, add spinach.

Hey Donya – can this be frozen prior to the addition of the ricotta?
Donya
Hey there Melissa!
Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, it’s perfect to make this time of year! If you’re planning on preparing the soup ahead of time and then freezing it, I would recommend waiting to add the ricotta until you defrost, reheat and are ready to serve the soup. I hope this is helpful, let me know how everything turns out, I’d love to hear what you think of the recipe!

Even more delicious than I imagined!! I made 2 changes. My family’s lasagna recipe uses Fines Herbes instead of Italian Seasoning and I love that flavor so I made that substitution here. Also, I used only the 32 oz Vegetable broth (rather than 5 cups) and it was fine. No salt added. YUMMY!
Donya
Hey there Claire!

This looks really good, but has anyone just used a jar of spaghetti sauce instead of using the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and Italian seasoning? If I still add the vegetable stock, seems like it would work.
Hey Louise.
Give your idea a try. It sounds like it would work. I hope you’ll let me know.
Have a great day,

We have hosted a “Souper Bowl” party for 38 years. We serve 2-3 soups at half time and this year…for the first time…I am substituting Donya’s Lasagna Soup for my usual chili. Got my fingers crossed!
Jan Brewer
Are the noodles precooked before you add them.?
No. Break the noodles and place them in the pot. They will cook while the soup simmers.
Enjoy!
