How to Make Lasagna Soup
Making lasagna soup is so easy!
- In a large pot on the stove, brown ground beef. Add onion and garlic & sauté until translucent.
- Add tomatoes, spices, stock and water to the pot, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- After the soup has cooked, add raw pasta. Stir together and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered until pasta is al dente.
- Once cooked, discard bay leaf. Top with parmesan cheese + ricotta. Enjoy!
Pro Tip:
You should slightly undercook the pasta.Once you remove the pot from the heat the pasta will continue to cook and absorb the broth. Feel free to add more broth to your liking.
Lasagna Soup Recipe Easy substitutions
Olive Oil: You can substitute avocado oil, butter, or ghee.
Ground Beef: We like 85/15 ground beef from ButcherBox. Feel free to use leaner ground beef depending on what you like. I haven’t tried making this with ground turkey or ground chicken but I think it would be delicious. Ground sausage would also be yummy! To make vegetarian you can use cooked lentils or a ground beef substitute. You’ll need to adjust your cooking time.
Crushed Tomatoes: Tomato puree or canned tomato sauce will work in place of crushed tomatoes. We don’t recommend using jarred pasta sauce for this recipe as it will be pretty salty!
Herbs: Feel free to substitute dried herbs with fresh herbs. You can use double the amount of fresh herbs vs dried herbs.
Broth:Anybrothor stock (broth and stock are the same) can be used in any soup recipe.Beef Broth,Chicken Broth, or vegetable broth all work interchangeably. I always use low or no salt broth.
Pasta: We love thisreginetti pasta, but you can also use broken lasagna noodles, broken mafalda pasta or farfalle pasta.
Cheese for serving: Ricotta, parmesan or mozzarella cheese will all work for a topping. Feel free to use dairy free cheese or skip the cheese to keep dairy free!
Easy Lasagna Soup pro tip
If you plan to enjoy this soup as leftovers, it’s best to cook the pasta separately. If you cook the pasta in the soup, the noodles will absorb the broth overnight and you’ll wind up with mushy pasta!
I always cook my pasta separately for soup to avoid soggy noodles!
How to serve the Best Lasagna Soup Recipe
This cheesy lasagna soup is great on its own. It’s packed with protein, cozy pasta, and has the best tomato broth. Here are some ways we like to serve it:
- a big piece of bread or breadsticks
- lots of parmesan cheese on top
- Fresh basil and cracked black pepper also add a lot of flavor for toppings
- with a salad. We like this Apple Walnut Salad or Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional- omit if you don't like spice or add to taste at end

Instructions
Stove Top Instructions
In a large pot on the stove, heat olive oil. Add the ground beef to the oil and cook the ground beef for 10 minutes until browned. Add onion and garlic. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until onions/garlic are translucent.
Add tomatoes, spices, stock and water to the pot, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
After the soup has cooked, add raw pasta. Stir together and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered until pasta is al dente, about 4-6 minutes (cook time will vary depending on the pasta shape you use, but cook about 3-4 minutes less than the recommended time)
Important: you should slightly undercook the pasta. Once you remove the pot from the heat the pasta will continue to cook and absorb the broth. Feel free to add more broth to your liking.
Once cooked, discard bay leaf. Top with parmesan cheese + ricotta. Enjoy!
Instant Pot Instructions
Important Note: This recipe is best when made on the stovetop. Cooking your pasta in the instant pot is finicky and can give you mushy pasta! We don’t recommend making this in the instant pot and it saves you no time vs stovetop method.
Set your Instant Pot to Sauté for 15 minutes. Add olive oil to the pot and heat. Add ground beef and cook ground beef for 10 minutes until browned. Add onion and garlic. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until onions/garlic are translucent.
Make sure to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the instant pot to avoid a burn notice.
Add tomatoes, spices, stock and water to the pot. Stir well.
Add pasta and press down into the water/broth but don’t push to the bottom of the pot (we don’t want the pasta to stick to the bottom!)
Cover the pot and set to sealing, high pressure. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure. Once the pot has finished cooking, do a quick release.
Once cooked, discard bay leaf. Top with parmesan cheese + ricotta. Enjoy!
Optional: You can cook your pasta on the side in a pot to avoid it being over cooked.
Crockpot Instructions
Important Note: This recipe is best when made on the stovetop. The pasta can easily get overcooked in the crockpot.
In a large pot on the stove, heat olive oil. Add ground beef to the oil and cook ground beef for 10 minutes until browned. Add onion and garlic. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until onions/garlic are translucent. Add to the crockpot base.
Add tomatoes, spices, stock and water to the crockpot base. Do not add pasta! Stir until combined. Set to high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours (low is recommended).
The last hour of cooking, add your raw pasta to the crockpot. Stir to combine. Turn the crockpot to high. Cover and cook for the remaining hour. You can also cook your pasta in a separate pot and stir it in the soup to save time.
Important Note: you should undercook the pasta. Once you remove the pot from the heat the pasta will continue to cook and absorb the broth. Feel free to add more broth to your liking.
Once cooked, discard bay leaf. Top with parmesan cheese + ricotta. Enjoy!
