Lasagna Soup

Ever want to make lasagna without all the fuss of assembling the dish?
Yeah, me too.  This soup is much easier!

Since the high today in Iowa is 8 degrees, I figured I'd share a nice, hearty bowl of warm soup with you.  It only makes sense, right?

I'm a bit over this winter.  Like most people I'm ready for warm days.  Days where we can all walk out of the house without coats, gloves, hats and boots.  Usually by the time I get everyone dressed, I'm sweating and don't even want to wear a coat outside.  I am SO ready to be able to walk out the door without a thought other than shoes and wear I am going.

Making soup in the winter is comforting to me.  Not only is it warm and delicious, but in our family we often eat out of it for a couple of days, as it makes great leftovers.  And you know what leftovers means...no cooking for me on day #2!  I love to cook, but I love a break too.

Lasagna Soup


I adapted a lasagna soup recipe from Biz, my blog friend in Chicago.  She recently lost her husband to liver disease and I am still amazed at how strong she has been through this process.  She is so positive and seems to have a wonderful attitude about life when I know many others would have just given up.  Hugs to you Biz!

I've lost track but I think she's made a version of this soup around 60 times?  I'm sure she'll read this and let me know the exact number.  Until then we'll call this batch #1.

If you are like me you love a baked lasagna, but frankly I'm not really fond of assembling it.  It can be a lot of work!  And time consuming.  With this soup it tastes like the real thing, but is so much easier to make.  Genius!

Speaking of lasagna dishes, have you seen the new Crock-Pot Casserole Slow Cooker?  I'm in love with this!  Maybe I'll put it in on my Christmas list for next year.  How cool would it be to made a traditional 9x13 pan of anything in the slow cooker?  I think it would be great for potlucks and traveling too.

The ideal way to make lasagna soup would be to use broken up lasagna noodles, but I didn't have any on hand so I used some orecchini {little ears} pasta I had gotten at Trader Joes.  And really, you could use anything you have, even the old stand by elbow noodle.  It all tastes the same.

And don't forget to top this soup with cheese, it really makes the soup.  I mean, what is lasagna without cheese?

We also love eating this soup with my Easy No-Knead Artisan Bread. It's perfect for dipping! Gotta soak up all those extra juices somehow.

  1. Great point Biz! I added a step 6 to the recipe about keeping the pasta separate. I read that article last night - awesome! What a great tribute.
