A hearty and flavorful Healthy Lasagna Soup that captures the essence of classic lasagna in a comforting soup format.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey or ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 6–8 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • For Ricotta Topping (optional, for serving):
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey or beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with their liquid), chicken or vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente (tender but still firm to the bite), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. While the noodles cook, prepare the ricotta topping (if desired): In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Once noodles are cooked, taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the ricotta mixture. Garnish with extra fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and use vegetable broth.
  • Consider adding other vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition.
  • The ricotta topping is optional but highly recommended for an authentic lasagna flavor.
