If you’ve had my internet-famous Vegan Lasagna, you know I don’t mess around with Italian food. Since I’ve been on such healthy homemade soup kick, I figured it was high time to make lasagna soup inspired by my beloved OG lasagna recipe! On the table in 30 minutes flat, this vegetarian lasagna soup couldn’t be easier to make. Did I mention it makes the best leftovers? Like a fine wine, the flavors mingle and marry and get even more fab with age. It’s a veg party and you’re all invited!
Ingredients
Veggies: This soup is packed to the brim with vegetables! We’ve got onion, garlic, zucchini (don’t miss my Zucchini Lasagna!), cauliflower, mushrooms, and spinach. I like to use frozen sliced bell peppers and cauliflower for convenience. Marinara sauce: For amazing, classic lasagna flavors. Go for one you know tastes delicious and has high-quality ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and extra virgin olive oil at the top of the list (versus tomato paste and added sugars). I love snagging Rao’s at Costco! Tomatoes: A can of undrained diced tomatoes (same ones I use for my Vegan Tomato Soup) for extra umami. You could also use crushed tomatoes. Italian seasoning: To add amazing flavor. You could also stir in a handful of chopped fresh basil or parsley. Lasagna: Any of your favorite uncooked lasagna noodles look great (not the no-boil kind). You can use white, whole grain or gluten free lasagna.
Let’s make it! (step-by-step)
Variations
Change up the the veggies: Use whatever you have in the fridge or freezer, like squash, broccoli, or green beans. You could also use kale instead of spinach. Add protein: For extra oomph, stir in a can of drained lentils, vegan meat crumbles, or kidney beans. Make it cheesy: Top soup with tofu ricotta or stir in extra cheese at the end!
Dietary modifications
As a dietitian, I love how nourishing this soup is! It’s packed with vitamins and disease-fighting antioxidants. “Delicious and so satisfying…Thank you for another 10/10 recipe!” –Maclean “Oh MY Gosh this is the best!! I love, love this recipe and you will too! I add a few more noodles to make it even more thick with the good stuff. Its really hard not to eat the entire pot 🙂” –Robin “I made this for dinner after seeing it on an IG post. It was so good! I added white beans for some protein, and used the vegetables I had on hand…My one year old and husband loved it too!” –Alyssa
Gluten free: Simply use gluten-free lasagna! I love this brown rice one. You’ll cook the pasta in the soup, so simply follow the directions on the package for the cooking time. Lower carb: To make this soup lower in carbohydrates, you could omit the noodles and add extra veggies of your choice. You can also omit 2 cups of water. I’d recommend adding a can of kidney beans for more staying power!
Can I make this in the Instant Pot?
Yes! Just like my Cashew Cream of Mushroom Soup, this works so well in the pressure cooker.
How to store
Store cooled soup in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. This soup freezes super well. Place cooled soup in a freezer-safe baggie and lay flat. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge then reheat over the stove or in the microwave.
