One Pot Lasagna Soup

Step 5: Make the Cheese Mixture

While the soup simmers, prepare the cheesy topping — this is what gives the soup that signature lasagna richness.

1. In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley until well combined.
2. Set aside; this will be used as a creamy garnish.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once the noodles are cooked and the soup has thickened slightly, ladle it into serving bowls.
2. Spoon a generous dollop of the ricotta cheese mixture on top of each bowl.
3. Allow the heat from the soup to slightly melt the cheese, creating a creamy, indulgent layer.
4. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve One Pot Lasagna Soup with:

• A slice of crusty garlic bread or a warm baguette for dipping
• A fresh green salad to balance the richness
• A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor

This soup is hearty enough to serve as a full meal on its own, but it pairs beautifully with simple sides when you’re feeding a crowd.

💡 Tips for Success

• Use good-quality marinara: Since it forms the base of your soup, choose a rich, flavorful sauce.
• Control the pasta texture: Add the noodles toward the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming too soft.
• For a creamier version: Stir a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half into the soup right before serving.
• Make it vegetarian: Skip the meat and use vegetable broth, adding chopped mushrooms or lentils for texture.
• Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The noodles may absorb liquid over time, so add a splash of broth when reheating.
