This vegetarian and vegan minestrone soup is loaded with fresh produce, a rich broth, and plenty of beans. It’s filling, healthy, and delicious! ” player-type=”default” override-embed=”default”]Lasagna soup is an old favorite around here (originally published in 2015), but once I started getting hooked on adding marinara sauce to soups, I knew I needed to update this easy recipe.
Adding marinara to soup recipes started with this easy minestrone soup and then I added my “secret” soup ingredient to this easy homemade chili recipe. Of course, it was only a matter of time before I had to try it in this easy soup!
It was the BEST decision ever because it made this soup easier and so much more flavorful. This is always the best news.
What is Lasagna Soup?
I consider lasagna soup to be lasagna in soup form! It has the classic lasagna flavors that you love, but without the hassle of making all of the components, boiling the noodles, layering everything together, and a long baking time.
How to Make Lasagna Soup:
You know that when you come to myeverdaytable.com, you can count on easy recipes and this soup is no exception! First you’ll brown some onions, garlic, and ground beef. Then the secret ingredient – marinara sauce! Add in some seasonings and broth, and let it simmer together for 20 minutes. If you’re in a rush, you can eat it before the 20 minutes, but let it simmer for at least 10 minutes.
Then you’ll make some pasta and prep any toppings and it’s time to devour.
Storage Tips for Lasagna Soup:
This soup can be stored in the fridge or the freezer. The only recommendation I have is to keep the soup and pasta separate. If you combine them, the pasta gets really watery and soggy so store them in different containers.
What to Serve with Lasagna Soup:
I think there are plenty of vegetables in this meal if you want to consider it a one-bowl dinner, but if you want to add something on the side, I would serve this lasagna soup with a simple salad with Italian dressing or some garlic bread.

yum yum yum. gotta make this.
That’s what I love about your blog… it’s real and YOUR personality shines through 🙂 Plus, you make delicious, healthy food that doesn’t have an 87-ingredient list! Since I don’t eat pasta, I bet this would be tasty with quinoa, too 🙂
Thanks Erin. 🙂 Have you tried the Brown Rice + Quinoa pasta from Trader Joe’s? I can’t remember if you eat rice…but it’s good!
Yes Emily! I read your blog for several reasons but you keep it real and I appreciate your food philosophy. Although I personally like to incorporate a bit more candy into my menu. 🙂 Can’t wait to keep reading! And for BABY!!!
P.S. I made the broccoli pesto and we all enjoyed – including Cameron! Nice switch up to our regular pesto. Thanks for bringing inspiration as always to the Johnson household xo
This makes me so happy. So glad Cam approved! I’ve been incorporating lots of candy/sweets into my menu lately. 🙂
i love everything about you, your content and your realness. that includes simple, healthy and delicious meals but also the way you write and resonate with me.
this soup looks perfect for a weeknight. i’ve decided that tinkyada is my favorite brown rice pasta so i’d love to make this.
xo
This is SO sweet and totally made my day. XO
I have really been on the hunt for good soup recipes lately. I just want to make big batches of things for the family so I don’t have to cook during the week. I’m definitely going to try this one! Yum!
Here’s another one that a friend just shared with me, said it was good! http://food52.com/recipes/26568-slow-cooker-chicken-parmesan-soup
Love this! As I also share the love for TJ’s. Great recipe!
This sounds fantastic any night of the week! I love the fresh basil and parmesan that you added for garnish, it makes the soup look so fresh and extra delicious!
looks awesome! i’ve always loved how real your blog is. some of the recipes you make/things you eat aren’t really my cup of tea, but seeing them still inspires me. and you have gorgeous photos! every recipe i’ve tried of yours has been awesome (mostly apps i think… your dips..mmm!). i love how thick this soup looks!
I think as both food bloggers and health advocates we feel so much pressure to BE something. Or at least I do. Be vegan, be gluten free, be paleo. I get so tired of the labels, which is why I find your blog so refreshing. it’s who you are and reflects your health values, which don’t have to be labeled! Love this soup idea!
Very well said Lori, thank you! Same to you. 🙂
We loved this! It would be perfect to have with a bunch of people, like a super bowl party (when we can do that again). The only bummer is that the salt is kind of high. I will probably look for a low salt marinara sauce.
Perfect party soup! And yes, great way to decrease sodium is with low-sodium marinara and low-sodium broth!
