How to Make Lasagna Soup
- The key to any flavorful soup is to make a strong base for a tasty broth! To do that, step one is to cook down the meat and then cooking the onions and garlic down in the meat juice. It creates a delicious fond on the bottom of the pot.
- Step two is when you deglaze the pot with red wine. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot down to get every one of those brown bits that are stuck to the pot! That will also add to delicious flavor!
- Step three you add the rest of the ingredients (except for the noodles, cheese, and spinach) and let it simmer to perfection!
- Step four is when you add the spinach to the pot just to wilt it! The spinach adds more veggies and texture to the soup,
- Step five is when you add the creamy and flavorful cheese mixture. All you have to do is add a large dollop of cheese to each bowl of soup and you’re ready to enjoy!

It’s All About the CHEESE
Does it surprise you? The cheese makes this recipe! We use a combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan. You mix them together to creamy deliciousness and then add salt and thyme and you’re set!
Don’t skip on the cheese, people! If you are out of some of the cheese that this recipe calls for, feel free to use burrata, cream cheese, cottage cheese, or even asiago!
