Lasagne soup
Instructions
Adjust the consistency
To thicken your lasagne soup, allow it to simmer for longer so some liquid evaporates, thickening the texture. You can also mix in a bit of tomato paste for a thicker texture. If you prefer to avoid cream but want a thicker consistency, combine 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with a little chicken broth, then stir it into the simmering mixture for added richness.
Use one pot for convenience
One-pot cooking truly shines when it comes to both ease and efficiency. You can effortlessly prepare your lasagne soup in a single saucepan or pot, which not only saves you time but also minimises the clean-up. This makes it so much easier to cook and allows all the ingredients to come together perfectly, enriching the flavours as they simmer and blend.

Moreish flavours of lasagne with tomatoes, minced meat, and pasta
Our lasagne soup captures the very nature of a classic lasagne. This is evident in the delightful combination of tangy tomatoes, minced meat, and tender lasagne sheets broken into smaller bits. As this delectable creation simmers away, the sweet and tangy tomatoes intertwine with the savoury meat, yielding a sumptuous base. While the familiar layers of traditional lasagne may be absent, you will still revel in the sumptuous texture of perfectly cooked pasta and the moreish, irresistible flavours that accompany it.
Smoky sweetness from paprika and sharp heat from sambal oelek
By combining paprika and sambal oelek, the base of the soup is introduced to warm and prominent flavours. The paprika adds a smoky sweetness that deepens the taste, while the sambal oelek introduces a sharp, spicy heat. The interplay of sweet and spicy notes complements the rich, savoury meat, resulting in a truly indulgent taste.
Topped with cool crème fraiche, grated Parmesan, and fresh basil
The finishing touches for the soup were carefully selected to mirror those found in a traditional lasagne. We opted to crown it with cool crème fraiche, which contributes a wonderful creaminess. Now, it may not be as decadent as a classic béchamel, but it does add a more refreshing and lighter note. The addition of grated Parmesan delivers a delightful salty, savoury punch as it melts on the surface. When combined, they create a lavish finish that underscores the comforting essence of lasagne. Make sure to garnish with fresh basil to add a bit of colour along with a hint of sweetness.
Reinvention of an Italian classic
Lasagne soup offers an innovative take on the traditional Italian favourite. It has its roots in the contemporary trend of reimagining beloved culinary creations. With this soup, you can relish the rich and comforting flavours of homemade lasagne without spending extensive time in the kitchen. Just like the classic, this dish is perfect for a quick and satisfying family dinner. It beautifully showcases how we can breathe new life into traditional recipes while preserving the qualities that have made them cherished favourites.
Give the recipe a personal touch
Make things more interesting by adding various vegetables like carrots, celery, sweet peppers, courgette, or spinach. Sauté these vegetables along with onions and garlic, which not only softens them but also allows their flavours to meld seamlessly with the base of the soup. It is best to chop the vegetables into small, even pieces to ensure they cook through evenly. Also, consider combining lean minced beef with Italian sausage. The spicy Italian sausage will not only deepen the overall flavour but also complement the beef beautifully.
