Flavorful Ingredients at Their Best

This dish calls for simple yet flavorful ingredients that come together beautifully. Ground beef provides a rich base that simmers with onions and garlic, creating an aromatic foundation. The addition of chicken broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes ensures the soup is not only hearty but bursting with flavor. Each spoonful delivers a savory experience reminiscent of traditional lasagna but with added warmth from the broth.

Cheeses like ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan elevate this soup to creamy perfection. Instead of layering cheese between pasta sheets, mixing them directly into the simmering broth allows for a delightful melt that transforms the entire dish. Fresh basil adds a vibrant touch, enhancing both the taste and presentation. This balance of ingredients results in a delicious, soul-soothing meal that everyone will love.

Cooking Steps

Cook the Meat and Onion

In a large pot, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is browned and the onion is tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Aromatics and Broth

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.

Add Pasta

Add the pasta and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the pasta is tender.

Finish with Cheese

Stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Perfect Pairings

While this Super Quick Lasagna Soup is a standalone meal, pairing it with crusty bread or a light salad can elevate the dining experience. A simple arugula salad dressed in balsamic vinaigrette complements the creamy soup perfectly, adding freshness and crunch. For those looking to indulge, a side of garlic bread can add a delightful crunch and flavor that pairs beautifully with the soup’s richness.

Moreover, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for those who enjoy a bit of heat. Personalizing your meal with sides or spices allows you to make it your own and can turn a simple soup into a full dining experience.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover soup, you’re in for a treat! This lasagna soup stores wonderfully in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply transfer it to an airtight container once cooled, and when you’re ready to enjoy it again, just reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. The flavors will continue to develop, often making it taste even better on the second day.

For longer storage, consider freezing the soup. Just be sure to keep it in a freezer-safe container. It can last for up to three months in the freezer. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight or use a microwave for quick reheating. This means you can always have a comforting meal on hand, ready to warm you up any day of the week.
