If you love lasagna but hate the time it takes to layer, meet your new best friend: one pot lasagna soup. This dish captures all the cozy goodness of lasagna and transforms it into a hearty, one-pot wonder. It’s been trending in kitchens over the past year or so, and for good reason! Everyone loves how easy it is to make and how it delivers classic Italian flavors without the fuss.

What makes lasagna soup so popular is its versatility. You can cook it on a lazy weeknight or for a casual dinner—it’s that easy. Everything comes together in one pot, from the savory broth with garlic, herbs, and tomatoes to the tender pasta. Plus, it’s topped with a dollop of cheese for that signature lasagna vibe. This is a dish you can easily customize. Add extra veggies or swap the meat for mushrooms—it’s as flexible as it is flavorful.

The best part? You don’t need to be a kitchen pro to make it. With a few pantry staples and 45 minutes, you’ll have a meal that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. So, the next time you crave comfort food but want a quick option, try lasagna soup. Trust me, it’ll become a regular in your recipe rotation.

Ingredients

Another reason this dish is a breeze? The ingredients are everyday kitchen staples. You likely already have tomatoes, seasonings, pasta, and parmesan cheese on hand. With just a quick pantry check and maybe a stop for ricotta cheese or ground meat, you’re ready to go. It’s simple, affordable, and perfect for when you need a no-fuss meal.

• Turkey Italian Sausage- typically less fat and calories than the pork variety
• Onions and Garlic- commonly used aromatics
• Crushed Red Pepper Flakes- for a tiny bit of heat
• Tomato Paste- to help thicken the soup base
• Diced Tomatoes- adds texture to the soup base
• Crushed Tomatoes- adds a rich, tangy, slightly sweet, and deeply savory flavor to the soup base
• Low Sodium Chicken Broth- adds depth of flavor with lower sodium content
• Seasonings- staples of Italian seasoning, onion, powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper
• Lasagna Noodles- best to use dried lasagna noodles
• Ricotta- mild flavor and add a creamy texture
• Parmesan- adds a nice nutty flavor; best to buy a chunk and grate it yourself
• Parsley- Compliments the soup’s flavor and adds a pop of freshness to the dish

Making One Pot Lasagna Soup

As the name indicates, this soup comes together in one pot. That’s always a plus for those who dislike doing the dishes like me. This dish comes together pretty quickly so make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and set out. No special tools will be needed. However, I would recommend having a wooden spatula and ladle handy to cook and serve the soup.

Start by heating extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. It is best to let the pot get hot first and then add your oil. Add the ground turkey Italian sausage to the pot and break into crumbles with the wooden spatula. Cook until browned. Stir in the diced onions and sauté for about 3 minutes before adding the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for just another minute being sure not to burn the garlic. If you are not a fan of any heat, you can totally omit the red pepper flakes. But if you want a bit more spice, you can add a little more. Teak based on your personal preference.

Next, stir in the tomato paste followed by the petite diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and low sodium chicken broth. I like the low sodium broth because it gives me more control over the saltiness of the food. Add in the Italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder. Give it a taste and add pepper and additional salt, if needed. Place the lasagna noodles in the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to about medium low, cover and simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until noodles are tender.

Serving the Soup

While the soup cooks, make the cheese mixture. In a small bowl combine ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Set aside. When the lasagna noodles are cooked to your desired tenderness, the soup is ready to serve. Ladle the lasagna soup into bowls and spoon a dollop of the cheese mixture right on top. The hot soup will warm the cheese as it’s stirred in prior to eating. From the first bite, it will give you all the comforting satisfaction of a hearty lasagna just in soup form!
