Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe {Stove, Instant Pot or Crockpot} - The Girl on Bloor (2024)

Variations of this soup

What kind of pasta is best for lasagna soup?

I like using mafalda pasta for this lasagna soup, but you could also break up lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces. Pretty much any kind of pasta will work, but mafalda and lasagna noodles make it more like a traditional lasagna!

Can you cook the pasta in the soup?

Yes! One of the great parts of this recipe is that the pasta cooks right in the pot with the rest of the soup ingredients, so there's less dishes to do after. You can make it separately if you'd like, but cooking it in the soup gives the noodles amazing flavour.

Can you make it in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot?

To make this soup in the Instant Pot, sauté the ground beef, onions and garlic, then cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. To make it in the slow cooker, sauté the ground beef, onions and garlic, then add everything but the noodles and cheese. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours, and stir in the noodles and cheese in the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

What do you serve on the side?

This one pot lasagna soup recipe has a little bit of everything so you don't really need a side dish, but if you're looking for ideas, you can't go wrong with some garlic bread, bruschetta, Caesar salad or steamed vegetables.

Can you make this soup vegetarian?

If you want to make this soup vegetarian, leave out the ground beef and opt for more veggies instead. Bell peppers, zucchini and mushrooms would all be delicious additions to this lasagna soup!

Storing and reheating

This one pot lasagna soup can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. This means that you can eat the leftovers or even use this recipe for meal prep. Just store it in serving size containers and your lunch will be ready to go.

To reheat a single serving, you can put it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. The noodles will continue to soak up the broth while stored. You may want to add a splash of broth or water while reheating.

Can you freeze lasagna soup?

You can freeze any leftovers if you won’t eat them in the next few days. This lasagna soup recipe will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can reheat the soup right from frozen in the microwave for 6-8 minutes, stirring partway through.

If you want to do some of the prep ahead of time to freeze for later, you can brown the meat and then put everything but the noodles and broth into a freezer safe bag. When you are ready to cook it, dump the bag into your pot, add the noodles and broth and simmer until the noodles are cooked.
