Serving Suggestions

- Crusty bread: A side of crusty bread is perfect for dipping and soaking up every last drop of that flavorful broth.
- Side salad: Balance out the richness of the soup with a fresh side salad. A simple green salad or a classic Caesar salad would pair nicely.
- Garlic bread: Who can resist garlic bread with Italian-inspired dishes? It’s a match made in heaven!
- Extra toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Try a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, a dollop of pesto, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Substitutions
Sometimes you don’t have all the ingredients on hand or maybe you want to switch things up. No problem! Here are a few easy substitutions you can make to this lasagna soup recipe:
- Meat: Instead of Italian sausage, try ground beef, ground turkey, or even ground chicken. If you want to keep it vegetarian, you could use lentils or mushrooms for a hearty texture.
- Pasta: Lasagna noodles are traditional, but any type of pasta will work! Penne, rotini, or even small shells are great options. Broken-up spaghetti is a pantry staple that works well too.
- Broth: Chicken broth adds a classic flavor, but you can also use beef broth or vegetable broth.

Flavor Variations
Want to give your lasagna soup a unique twist? Here are some ideas to customize the flavor:
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or stir in some Italian seasoning for extra depth.
- Veggie boost: Toss in some chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, zucchini, or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.
- Creamy dream: For a richer soup, stir in a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half just before serving.
Leftovers and Storage
This soup is even better the next day! Here’s how to store your leftovers:
- Refrigerator: Let the soup cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the soup. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
