There’s nothing quite like soup on a wet and cold winter’s day. It’s one of my favorite go to recipes; especially when I can prep and serve from one pot. This lasagna soup is hearty, full of flavor, and a hit for the whole family.

There’s no slaving over the stove for the whole day watching this soup. It comes together in under an hour for a delicious weeknight meal. One batch is good for about 8 servings. For a family of 4: cook once, freeze the leftovers, and you’ve got dinner prepped for 2 nights!

My boys LOVE lasagna cups. Lasagna soup lets me switch things up a bit, serve something the whole family loves without all the prep and assembly.

See that? One pot! ONE POT! Cutting down on prep and cleanup is always a good thing, right? It’s easy to sneak in some greens too with a handful or two of chopped spinach.

Once the soup is prepped and simmered the fun part is topping with your favorite cheeses. Take it from a hearty tomato soup with noodles to a delicious and creamy lasagna soup. The dollop of ricotta guarantees a bite of smooth and cool cheese in each spoonful!
