Lasagna Soup Recipe
Soup made with ground beef, sausage, spinach, and three different varieties of cheese! The ideal quick dinner for those chilly winter evenings!
One of my all-time favorite soups is Lasagna Soup! You get all of the flavors of a meaty lasagna in the shape of a warming soup! It’s piled high with beef, tomatoes, and Italian herbs, and the melty cheese tops it all off.
You get a herbed tomato-based broth with robust chunks of ground beef and a large pile of cheese that melts wonderfully into the steaming hot soup.
This simple dish may appear intimidating due to the extensive list of ingredients, but many of them are pantry staples you most likely already have, so don’t pass it up because it seems too complicated.
It’s actually rather simple to prepare and ideal for weeknight meals. Try it soon; it’ll quickly become a favorite on chilly nights.

How to Make Lasagna Soup
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat one tablespoon olive oil.
When the pot is hot, crumble the meat into it, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing regularly, until it is browned.
Remove the fat from the steak and set it aside. - In the same saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the chopped yellow onion and cook for 3 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
Sauté for another 30 seconds after adding the garlic.
