Cooking Tips for Success

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cups uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Meat and Vegetables

In a large pot, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.

Add Broth and Tomatoes

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the crushed tomatoes. Stir in the broken lasagna noodles, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Simmer the Soup

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Stir in Cream and Cheeses

Add the heavy cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

Serve and Garnish

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy hot!

Storage and Reheating

Storing Easy Creamy Lasagna Soup is straightforward. Simply let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to extend its shelf life, this soup also freezes well. Portion it into freezer-safe containers, and it can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.

While reheating, you might notice the soup has thickened due to the noodles absorbing the broth. Feel free to add a little extra broth or water to achieve your desired consistency. Stirring occasionally during reheating will help maintain even warming and creaminess. Always check the temperature before serving to ensure it’s heated through.

Pairing Suggestions

To elevate your dining experience, consider pairing this soup with garlic bread or cheesy breadsticks. The crispy texture complements the creamy soup wonderfully, providing a delightful contrast. A fresh green salad tossed with a light vinaigrette can balance the rich flavors of the soup, adding a refreshing touch to your meal.

For beverage choices, a crisp white wine or light rosé can cut through the richness of the soup, enhancing the overall dining experience. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, a sparkling water with a slice of lemon or a light iced tea can be equally refreshing and enjoyable.
