One Pot Lasagna Soup
I remixed several recipes out there to make it my own. Here is the recipe I used and then I’ll tell you some alternatives.
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 2 tsp onion powder*
• 2 tsp minced garlic*
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 2 tsp flavor god pizza seasoning*
• 2 tsp flavor god Italian zest*
• 1 carton chicken or beef stock
• 1 jar pasta sauce
• 1 c heavy cream
• 1 heaping spoon of ricotta cheese
• 1 box lasagna noodles (oven or regular)
• 1 c grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 block cream cheese*
Brown meat and then season. Pour in the pasta sauce and stock and bring to a boil. Add heavy cream and ricotta cheese. If adding cream cheese, do it now. Break apart noodles and cook until tender. Once cooked, add in grated parm and mozzarella cheese.
* You can use onions and garlic instead of seasonings. Add any Italian seasonings that you enjoy. I actually measured with my eyes, but most recipes out there used around 1-2 tsp each. I used cream cheese for a thicker soup, but it’s completely optional.

I've experimented with various one pot lasagna soup recipes, and I love how adding both Italian sausage and ground beef gives the soup a rich, hearty flavor. Using cream cheese along with ricotta really makes the broth thicker and creamier, which adds a comforting texture that reminds me of a traditional baked lasagna but in soup form. One tip I found helpful is to break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces before adding them to the pot. This allows the pasta to cook evenly and absorb the delicious flavors from the sauce and broth. I usually prefer chicken stock because it adds a subtle depth without overpowering the tomato and cheese flavors. For seasoning, using a mix like Flavor God’s pizza seasoning and Italian zest gave my soup a beautifully balanced taste with hints of garlic, herbs, and a little spice. But if you don’t have those, fresh onions, minced garlic, and classic Italian herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme work perfectly. When I want to make this recipe quicker, I use oven-ready lasagna noodles which cook faster and reduce prep time. Adding the cheeses towards the end and gently stirring until melted helps create that luscious cheesy finish everyone loves. This soup makes for an excellent weeknight dinner because it’s all done in one pot, minimizing cleanup. Leftovers reheat well and taste even better the next day when the flavors have melded. If you want extra vegetables, adding spinach or mushrooms works nicely without detracting from the classic lasagna taste. Overall, this one pot lasagna soup is a simple yet satisfying meal that combines all the joy of lasagna in a warming, easy-to-make soup. It’s perfect for busy evenings when you want comfort food without the hassle of multiple pots and pans.
