About the Recipe
Lasagna soup is a delicious twist on traditional lasagna, served in soup form. It typically features all the classic flavors of lasagna—like rich tomato sauce, ground meat (usually beef), lasagna noodles broken into smaller pieces, and a cheesy topping—combined in a comforting soup. It's often seasoned with Italian herbs and spices, such as oregano and basil, and sometimes includes ingredients like onions, garlic, and bell peppers for added flavor. Lasagna soup is a hearty and satisfying dish that captures the essence of lasagna in a cozy, bowl-friendly format.
