Lasagna Soup

Cheesy lasagna soup with ground beef in a black bowl with a spoon.
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  30 min

Ingredients

  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • ½ pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 8 ounces low moisture mozzarella, shredded
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for serving (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente according to package instructions.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a second large pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the sausage, ground beef, and onion and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and fennel seeds and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. Drain the lasagna noodles, then transfer to the soup. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley, if using.

  5. Serve topped with parmesan and parsley.
