                  But guess what? You may be surprised that this Lasagna Soup has neither ricotta cheese nor lasagna noodles in it!  I know, I'm nuts for calling it a lasagna soup... I guess it is inspired by lasagna! 

                  Ingredients for Lasagna Soup

                  • olive oil - I find extra virgin olive oil flavor too strong for this recipe so I just use classic olive oil.
                  • sweet onion - finely diced
                  • large garlic cloves - you can never have too much of a good thing and minced garlic is essential in this recipe.
                  • ground beef - for this recipe, I find lean beef is best. 91% is what I use.
                  • tomato sauce - canned is fine, be sure it's just plain sauce with nothing else added.
                  • beef stock - regular or low-sodium both work.
                  • Garlic & Herb Italian Spice Mix - I like to use this homemade one, but store-bought is fine too.
                  • tomato paste - this will thicken the soup.
                  • bowtie pasta - cook this ahead of time.
                  • heavy cream - this helps to add to the rich flavor and silky texture.
                  • Parmesan cheese - not the stuff in the can - the real stuff!
                  • Chopped fresh basil for garnish
                  • salt and pepper to taste

                  Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe

                  1. In a dutch oven, heat the olive oil. Sweat the onions until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more.
                  2. Add the ground beef and brown. Season with 1 tablespoon of the Garlic and Herb Italian Spice Mix.
                  3. Stir in the beef stock, tomato sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of spice mix, and tomato paste. Simmer covered for 10 minutes.
                  4. Add the cooked pasta, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
                  5. Garnish with a bit more cheese, if desired, and basil.
                  Make your own DIY Italian Garlic & Herb Seasoning for a fraction of the cost of a store-bought blend. It's great to have in your pantry, and makes a lovely gift, too!

                  With lots of basil, oregano, rosemary, parsley, and of course granulated garlic, this Garlic and Herb Italian Spice Mix is ideal for so many yummy Italian dishes!

                  Can I use fresh herbs instead?

                  The rule of thumb for using fresh herbs in place of dried herbs is to triple the amount called for in the recipe.

                  Can this soup be frozen?

                  The base of the soup can be frozen, but don't add the cheese and pasta until you're ready to serve it.

                  Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe Variations:

                  • Add 1 cup of frozen spinach (be sure to thaw and squeeze out the excess water first) to the soup for some added nutrition.
                  • Substitute ground sweet Italian sausage for the ground beef for a spicer version.
                  • For a lower fat recipe, use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
                  • To thicken the soup, you can also use ½ cup of squash or pumpkin puree.
                  • If you have leftover Homemade Meatballs, cut them into quarters and add those to the soup instead of the ground beef.

                  More Italian Favorites:

                  • Tomato Sauce from Scratch is our Italian family recipe handed down from generation to generation.
                  • Sausage Tortellini Soup is loaded with veggies and cheese tortellini.
                  • Eggplant Parmigiana Pasta Bake is an easy shortcut recipe you'll love to make any night of the week!
                  • Slow Cooker Meat Lasagna is an awesome weeknight dish that you can toss into your slow cooker and forget about.

                  What to serve with Lasagna Soup

                  This easy Lasagna soup recipe is such a hearty meal that you don't need to add a whole lot more to it. Here are a few quick suggestions:

                  • These Garlic Cheese Herb Bombs are like the most delicious cheesy garlic bread - only better!
                  • Whip up a fast side salad and a batch of this Homemade Italian Dressing from Five Heart Home.
