Toss everything you know about lasagna out the window in favor of this easy lasagna soup! It’s simple, delicious, and just as flavorful as the traditional dish. It’s ready in under an hour and includes a generous layer of mozzarella cheese!

Lasagna, but make it soup

I’ve always felt so-so about soup. Sure, it’s tasty and warm and cozy, but it’s not particularly exciting. That is, until I started making this easy lasagna soup recipe. It takes everything good about lasagna and wraps it up into a delicious soup!

This dish is a family-friendly meal that everyone will love. It’s filled with veggies to provide lots of vitamins and nutrients, and it certainly isn’t short on flavor either!

Since it only takes 45 minutes to create, this easy soup recipe is the perfect meal for busy weeknights. And, spoiler alert: it freezes well too! You just may find your next favorite grab-and-go freezer meal in this lasagna soup. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients used in easy lasagna soup

Picture your favorite lasagna recipe, but in soup form. You have the crunch of the veggies (green pepper, onion, zucchini), the flavors of the spices, and the deliciousness of the tomato sauce. Now take all of that, and throw it into a soup! Just like that, you have the best lasagna recipe ever.

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this recipe happen:

  • Olive oil
  • Yellow onion
  • Green pepper
  • Zucchini
  • Garlic
  • Ground turkey
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Oregano
  • Marinara sauce (I used Rao’s)
  • Tomatoes
  • Chicken stock
  • Water
  • No-boil lasagna noodles (I used Banza chickpea lasagna noodles)
  • Parmesan
  • Mozzarella

All of the kitchen tools you’ll need

This is a one pot meal which means less cleanup! All you’ll need for this recipe is a dutch oven (or sauce pan) and something to stir the ingredients, like a spatula. Oh, and don’t forget your cutting board and chopping knife!

For measuring cups, you’ll need the following sizes: 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, and 1 cup.

How to make lasagna soup

Lasagna soup is a one pan recipe that totally takes the labor out of making dinner. You could basically do it with your eyes closed! Throw everything into the pot in the increments as described below, and in just 45 minutes you’ll have 8 delicious servings of homemade lasagna soup.

First, heat the oil in a large dutch oven or sauce pan.

Add the onion, pepper, and zucchini, and stir. Let the veggies cook until they soften.

Add garlic and ground turkey, and cook until the meat is no longer pink. If a lot of liquid is released, drain once the meat has cooked through.

Next, add the spices and stir. Then, add the marinara, tomatoes, stock, and water and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, crush the lasagna pieces into smaller pieces and add the to the soup.

Cook for 15 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through, stirring occasionally so that the noodles don’t stick to the bottom.

Top with fresh parmesan and mozzarella, and serve.

Bonus: Freezes well!

One of the best parts about this recipe is how well it freezes. I love to make a double batch and store half for later! Then, when I need a quick dinner or I’m just in the mood for soup, I take it out of the freezer, warm it up, and it’s ready to enjoy!

When freezing, let the soup fully cool and do not top with cheese. Once cooled, place in a securely sealed airtight container and freeze.

When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and thaw. Then, place in a dutch oven or large pot and heat on the stove until warm. Top with parmesan and mozzarella, and enjoy!

Easy lasagna soup substitution options

Whether you’re missing an ingredient or like to simply know what your options are, here are some easy swaps that you can use in this recipe.

Ground turkey
This is one of the easiest swaps to make, as the options are endless! Swap ground turkey with whichever meat you choose. Ground chicken, beef, or even Italian sausage will work. Be sure to keep an eye on these during the cooking process, as they may require more or less time.

Select veggies
This recipe calls for specific veggies such as a yellow onion and a green pepper. However, use whatever you have! Use red onion, yellow peppers, red peppers, etc. Anything will work!

Vegetarian-ize the recipe
Finally, this recipe can easily be made vegetarian-friendly. First, we will need to swap the ground turkey with a plant based option. Any ground “meat” substitute will work! Then, sub the chicken stock for veggie stock. That’s it! With those easy swaps, your soup is vegetarian-friendly.

Tip: Broiled cheesy goodness on top

Here’s a yummy idea that you can try if you want to take your lasagna to the next level or personalize various servings to fit different preferences.

First, you’ll need a few individual oven-safe bowls. With these, you can add different ingredients as needed! However, the main reason I like to use these dishes is because it allows for extra chewy and delicious mozzarella cheese.

After filling the small bowls with soup, place the recommended amount of parmesan and mozzarella on top. Then, place in the oven on broil. Let sit for about 2-3 minutes, watching to make sure it doesn’t burn. Once the cheese is perfectly browned, remove from the oven and serve!

    I rarely write reviews but NEEDED to let everyone know about this lasagna soup. I’m not a chef but I am trying to cook more (aka less takeout) and recipes with a lot of prep/tools/instructions intimidate me… this recipe was perfect for someone like me!!! You really just put everything into one pot and I already had most of the ingredients in my kitchen!

    This meal was DELICIOUS. I made this for dinner for my boyfriend because he loves soup (and we both love pasta!) so this was perfect. The veggies were soft like they’d be in soup, but the noodles tasted like I was having a bowl of pasta.

    I always appreciate when I can sneak in veggies. This meal absolutely filled me up but I didn’t feel bloated or greasy like I sometimes do when I order a huge bowl of pasta at a restaurant… lol

    I sent some home for boyfriend, froze some, and have some in my fridge… probably will eat this again tonight!! Thanks Erin!

    Literally obsessed with this recipe! It combines my two favorite things which is even more of a win for me. Cooking for others is my favorite, so my husband and I made it for my parents when they were sick and couldn’t go out on their own. They loved it and we did too! We accidentally left ours simmering for a *bit* too long and it got so thick almost like a chili— but was still delish! Definitely being added into the rotation. Thank you for such a great recipe!! 🥰

    I loved this soup! I used chick pea pasta instead of lasagna noodles, & it was a hit. It’s perfect for this cold weather.
