If you’re looking for a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal, then this one pot lasagna soup is for you! When it comes to Italian food, I’m a sucker for lasagna. Big, thick slabs layered with pasta, cheese, and sausage, all bubbly and gooey. But it’s definitely not the most weeknight friendly meal.

So when that lasagna craving strikes but time isn’t your friend, may I introduce you to lasagna soup!

All those rich, tomato-y flavors, with big, fat noodles, and chunks of browned sausage studded throughout. And please do not forget the cheese! This one pot lasagna soup wonder wouldn’t come close to resembling the classic without the cheese.

I top mine with a scoop of ricotta, a handful of shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of parmesan. You can mix them all together before topping if you prefer, but my preference is to keep them separate for texture and appearance.

Dig into to this bowl of one pot lasagna soup.

Lasagna soup has very little prep and is mostly hands-off cooking time which will free you up to warm some garlic bread and toss a big green salad to round out your meal. All the flavors of a traditional lasagna, but on your table and in your belly in just an hour.

Be sure to keep this recipe handy all winter!

Let’s make one pot lasagna soup

Step by step photos showing how to make lasagna soup. Brown the sausage (1) Cook the onion and garlic (2) stir in tomato paste (3) add liquids and seasonings (4) add noodles (5) finish with cream and parmesan.
  1. Brown the crumbled sausage in a little olive oil.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste and a little water. Scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, stock, sugar, herbs and seasonings.
  5. Break up the lasagna noodles and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until noodles are tender.
  6. Stir in the cream and parmesan and serve!

Tips for sucess

  • You can substitute ground beef or use half sausage/half ground beef if desired.
  • Tomato puree or crushed tomatoes can be substituted for the tomato sauce. They are also delicious, but you will have a more “tomato forward” sauce (especially with the tomato puree).
  • You can omit the cream if desired, but add a splash more stock if doing so.
  • Thin the soup (especially if reheating leftovers) with a little stock if it’s too thick.
  • Don’t skip the cheesey toppings! They make this taste just like baked lasagna.
