One-Pot Lasagna Soup is full of all the flavors that you love from classic lasagna, but so much easier to make! This simple recipe made with ground beef in a rich tomato broth topped with creamy ricotta and rich Parmesan is a one-pot meal that’s comfort food at its best.

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 it’s topped with smooth ricotta cheese, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of fresh basil, you’d got the makings of something special!

Ingredients For This Recipe

This simple recipe is made in one pot! It has layers of flavor from pantry ingredients that you probably have on hand.

  • Ground Beef
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Tomato Paste
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Canned Crushed Tomatoes
  • Vegetable Stock
  • Lasagna Noodles
  • Ricotta Cheese
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Fresh Basil

Tips For Making Lasagna Soup

  • I use lean ground beef for this recipe. There’s less grease from the meat yet provides yummy flavor. You could also add Italian sausage for even more savory flavor.
  • Use good canned tomatoes. I use San Marzano crushed tomatoes and love their rich, full tomato taste.
  • If you want to make this soup ahead of time, follow the directions up until adding the noodles. Since the pasta will absorb a fair amount of liquid, it’s best to add the lasagna noodles before serving.
  • Serve the soup with a heaping spoonful of ricotta. Stir in the cheese, then dig in. You’ll have all the flavor of baked lasagna in every delicious bite!

Commonly Asked Questions

Can chicken, pork, or turkey be used instead of beef?

Yes, you can. You’ll want to taste and adjust the seasoning since the beef has a much richer flavor. You might need to add more seasoning flavor if chicken or turkey is used.

What Kind Of Pasta Should Be Used?

To keep this recipe true to its roots, I recommend using lasagna noodles. You could use other heartier pasta like farfalle, or rotini if needed.

How To Serve Lasagna Soup

To add all the flavors of traditional lasagna, then you’ve got to have cheese! Spoon on a heaping dollop of ricotta cheese along with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan. For a bit of brightness, add on some fresh torn basil, and you’re set.

How To Store Leftovers

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.

    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?

      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!

      Thank you so much for this phenomenal rating! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe, it’s one of my favorite comforting soups to make this time of year. It sounds like you made some delicious alterations, I always advise people to season to their own preferences, sometimes I like to add Herbes de Provence.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!
