This dish is more than just soup; it’s an experience. From the first simmer, your kitchen fills with the smell of garlic, tomato, and Italian spices. And when it’s time to eat? Every spoonful is packed with flavor, texture, and a nostalgic warmth that’s as satisfying as a traditional baked lasagna.

What Kind of Pasta Should I Use?

Lasagna noodles are the traditional choice, but you can break them into bite-size pieces for easy scooping. Alternatively, mafaldine or campanelle pasta mimics the ruffled edges and works beautifully in this soup. The key is to choose a sturdy pasta that holds up to the simmer and soaks in all that saucy goodness.

Ingredients for the One Pot Lasagna Soup

  • Ground Beef: Gives the soup its meaty backbone, just like in classic lasagna.
  • Onion and Garlic: Aromatic base that builds deep flavor in every spoonful.
  • Tomato Paste and Crushed Tomatoes: Adds richness and depth to the broth.
  • Italian Seasoning: Delivers that unmistakable lasagna flavor with a mix of herbs.
  • Beef Broth: Creates the perfect soupy consistency and enhances savory notes.
  • Lasagna Noodles: Broken into pieces for that traditional feel in every bite.
  • Ricotta, Mozzarella & Parmesan: The cheese trifecta that makes this soup irresistibly creamy and cheesy.
  • Fresh Basil or Parsley: Adds a bright finishing touch.

How To Make the One Pot Lasagna Soup

Step 1: Brown the Meat

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the beef and sauté until softened and fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Sauce Base

Stir in tomato paste and let it cook for a minute. Then pour in crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Add the Pasta

Break lasagna noodles into pieces and stir them into the pot. Simmer uncovered until the pasta is tender, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 5: Stir in the Cheese

Turn off the heat. Stir in a scoop of ricotta, a handful of mozzarella, and some grated Parmesan. Let them melt slightly into the soup.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Top with extra mozzarella or Parmesan and sprinkle fresh basil or parsley before serving.


Serving and Storing One Pot Lasagna Soup

Serve this soup piping hot, with a dollop of ricotta or extra shredded cheese right on top. It’s fantastic on its own or with a thick slice of crusty garlic bread. To store, let the soup cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The noodles will absorb more broth as it sits, so you may want to add a splash of beef broth when reheating.
