It maintains all the homestyle flavor and charm of regular lasagna, but is a fraction of the work and time. From start to finish, this easy lasagna soup only takes 30 minutes and is extremely versatile with lots of options to customize according to your family and their tastes.
Easy Lasagna Soup Ingredients
Soup
- Oil – I use olive oil, but you can use vegetable oil or even butter.
- Minced onion
- Minced garlic
- Chicken broth
- Dried basil – Feel free to use whatever quantity of these seasonings that you like! Customize it to what your family likes.
- Dried parsley
- Dried oregano
- Jar of marinara sauce – Use whatever brand you like. I typically just use storebrand!
- Tomato paste
- Lasagna noodles, broken into pieces – You don’t have to use lasagna noodles here – you can use any noodles you’d like.
- Cooked ground beef – Feel free to omit and add in cooked sausage instead (or add both)!
- Heavy whipping cream – You can sub half & half, your soup just won’t be as thick and may need a little cornstarch.

Cheese Topping

- Fresh parmesan cheese

I serve this up in a big bowl with a hearty dose of the cheese topping. On the side, I usually add a crusty bread and a nice crisp green salad.
How to store this Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe
Let your soup cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I typically store the soup and cheese topping in separate containers, but you could store them together if needed.
Can this recipe for Lasagna Soup be frozen?
Yes! Simply place your leftover soup in a freezer-proof container and store for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to serve, reheat in a pot on the stove and serve warm!

From the fridge I typically just reheat this in individual bowls in the microwave. If you’re looking to reheat for your whole family, you can also pop this back in a pot and warm over medium heat on the stove until warm. If heating from frozen, reheat in a pot on the stove.
