Description
A creamy, cheesy twist on lasagna in soup form—packed with lasagna noodles, vegetables, and optional ground poultry, simmered in a herb-infused white broth for cozy, one-pot comfort.
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
2 cups spinach or kale, chopped (optional)
1 lb ground chicken or turkey (optional)
6 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup grated Parmesan
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Optional garnish: chopped parsley, extra Parmesan
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add carrots and bell pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes. If using ground poultry, add and cook until browned.
- Season with oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in broth and bring to a boil.
- Add lasagna noodle pieces and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk, cream, and greens (if using). Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Add ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir until cheese melts and soup is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Omit ground meat for a vegetarian version.
- Swap lasagna noodles with other short pasta shapes if preferred.
- Use mascarpone or cream cheese for added richness.
- Not freezer-friendly due to pasta texture—best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated.
- Reheat with a splash of broth or cream to loosen consistency.
