I finally got around to make the viral lasagna soup, and it's AMAZING! It's warm, comforting and delicious, everything you want on a chilly day. I perfected my recipe (over 16M views!) and it's truly perfection!
FAQs:
- Add a little extra broth when reheating, the noodles will continue to soak up the liquid
- You can sub chicken stock for veggie or beef (I recommend beef)
- You can use a full pound of whatever meat you like (all beef, all sausage, all turkey, etc.)
- If you want to freeze this, don't add the cream to the entire pot, just to your individual bowl
- You don't have to use lasagna noodles, farfalle "bow-tie" would be perfect here
- You can sub heavy cream for milk or half & half
Ingredients:
For the soup
1-2 teaspoons Tony’s Seasoning (to taste)
1/2 yellow onion, diced (about a cup)
6-8 cloves minced garlic, to taste
1/2 lb hot or mild Italian sausage (I used hot)
1/2 lb lean ground beef
2 tbsp tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 t red pepper (to taste)
24 oz marinara
1/2 cup heavy cream
4-6 cups chicken stock, depending on how soupy you want it
1/2 lb lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
Handful of fresh basil
For the ricotta mixture:
1 cup parm
1 cup ricotta
1 cup mozzarella
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine your parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat your olive oil over medium heat. Add in your onion, add a pinch of salt, and cook for 4 minutes. Throw in your garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add in your sausage and beef, breaking into pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for a few minutes and then season with your salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley, Italian, and red pepper. Cook until no longer pink.
Add in your tomato paste and stir. Cook for a couple minutes. Pour in your chicken broth and marinara. Bring to a boil.
Pour in your lasagna pieces, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until al dente, stirring occasionally. Once your noodles are done, add in your heavy cream and fresh basil (torn). Adjust seasonings if needed. Stir, serve, and top with a dollop of your ricotta mixture. Enjoy!
