Lasagna comfort, one spoonful at a time
Beef, tomato broth and pasta meet a generous three-cheese topping in this warming soup. Cook the noodles separately so you can keep their texture just how you like it.
Before you begin
Use regular dried lasagna sheets and break them into manageable pieces before boiling. Have both tablespoons of oil ready: one for the beef, one for the onion.

Save some for later
Keep leftover noodles and cheese separate from the broth. Refrigerate promptly in shallow containers within two hours, use within three days and reheat the soup to 165°F (74°C).

The cooking plan
How to make Lasagna Soup.
-
Brown the beef in 1 tablespoon oil, breaking it into crumbles. Cook to 160°F (71°C). Move to a bowl and spoon excess fat into a heatproof container.

Use the remaining tablespoon oil to soften onion for 3–5 minutes. Add garlic and tomato paste; stir for 30–60 seconds.

Return beef; add broth, both canned tomatoes, basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil the broken regular lasagna noodles separately according to their package. Drain. Mix mozzarella, Parmesan and ricotta in a bowl.
