Amanda’s Easy Lasagna Soup

If you love the comforting flavors of lasagna but don’t want to fuss with layering noodles and baking pans, this Easy Lasagna Soup gives you all the same cozy satisfaction in a single pot. It’s hearty, full of flavor, and easy enough for a busy weeknight — exactly the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you cooked something special without spending hours in the kitchen.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This soup is one of those cozy, everything-in-one-pot meals that brings the whole family to the table. It’s rich, brothy, and full of Italian flavor, but still feels light enough to enjoy any time of year. The combination of ground beef and chicken gives it the perfect balance of flavor, while spinach or kale adds a boost of greens. Plus, it’s super flexible — you can make it creamy or dairy-free, spicy or mild, and it tastes even better the next day.

Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tsp ghee
• Half pound ground beef
• Half pound ground chicken
• 4-5 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 TBSP tomato paste
• 1 (16 Oz) jar/leftover marinara sauce
• 1 (32 Oz) box beef or chicken broth
• ¼ cup Pecorino Romano cheese
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp hot pepper flakes, less for less heat
• ½ box lasagna noodles
• 2 cup fresh spinach/kale
• Optional: ¼ cup heavy cream or coconut milk
• Garnish: 1 TBSP ricotta cheese

Directions

1. Chop 1 onion and saute in a large pan or Dutch oven with ghee over medium heat. When translucent add your meat and garlic. Cook until done. You may discard excess grease if there is any.
2. Using the same pan, add tomato paste and mix. Add the tomato sauce and broth, stir. Then, add in your seasonings, stir.
3. Add in spinach and lasagna noodles, mix. Place lid on pot and allow spinach to cook down and noodles to cook in the sauce, 7-10 minutes. You may use a no bake noodle or a traditional one. I use no bake GF noodles and they work great.
4. For a creamier soup, add the milk of your choice. Garnish with a dollop of ricotta cheese. Enjoy this 30-minute recipe! Great for both kids and adults!
