🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

Firstly, in a large pot add your hot Italian sausage, chopped onion, garlic and butter. Over medium heat sauté everything until the meat is fully cooked through.

Afterwards add your diced tomatoes (do not drain), spaghetti sauce, vegetable broth, chicken bullion cubes, oregano, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper to the pot of cooked meat.

Add heavy cream, cottage cheese, shredded parmesan to the pot of soup. Then give everything a big stir to combine and allow the bullion cubes to dissolve.

When done, break the lasagna noodles into bite size pieces and add to the soup pot. Then stir everything to combine. Allow soup to cook on medium-high heat until the pasta is al dente.

Be sure to not overcook your pasta. Be mindful that it will continue to cook in the hot soup. It will continue to cook even after coming off the heat. And you don’t want mushy pasta in your soup.

Finally, after the noodles are done remove the pot from the stove. We especially love to serve One Pot Lasagna Soup topped with mozzarella pearls and fresh herbs. Enjoy!

👩🏻‍🍳 Make it Your Own

This One Pot Lasagna Soup is such a great recipe for tweaking to your personal taste and liking. There are lots of ways to change up this dish to make it your own.

Protein - Hot Italian sausage definitely adds loads of flavor. But if you’d like to use something more mild a ground beef, turkey or pork would all work great too. If you do switch your protein you could add ½ a teaspoon of Italian seasoning to help add back some of that flavor to your soup.

Pasta - Any kind of pasta will work, though I definitely suggest going with a curly pasta. So if you aren’t a fan of lasagna noodles you can try a mafalda, cavatappi, fusilli, or gemelli pasta.

Vegetables - If wanted you can add all kinds of different types of veggies. Mushrooms, zucchini, spinach or extra onions are some of our favorites.

Fresh Herbs - Add in fresh parsley or basil just before serving for an extra punch of flavor.

Cheese - Try topping your bowl of soup with a dollop of ricotta cheese instead of mozzarella pearls if looking for more of a traditional lasagna vibe.

🍽 Storing

One Pot Lasagna Soup makes for great leftovers. It also freezes well or can easily be made ahead of time for busy weeknights or weekends!

If you do plan to store your soup in the fridge or freezer to reheat and enjoy later you may want to consider cooking your pasta separately from your soup.

You can follow the directions above just the same except for when it comes time to add the pasta to the soup for cooking, skip this step and move on to adding your dairy ingredients instead.

Then when the soup is done allow it to cool and store it properly in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer as desired. When it is time to enjoy your hearty soup go ahead and remove it and allow to thaw.

Transfer the soup to your cooking pot, allowing it to simmer over medium-high heat. In a separate pot prepare your pasta cooking it to al dente.

When both the soup and pasta are ready to serve, add the pasta to the bottom of your bowl or directly into your soup just before serving and enjoy!

By adding in the pasta after the soup has reheated it will help to prevent the pasta from soaking up too much liquid causing it to become soggy or mushy.

Notes

• If not a fan of spicy dishes or if you have picky eaters sub out the hot Italian sausage for a mild sausage instead.
• If wanting a healthier option or less creamy soup leave out the heavy cream.
• Be careful not to overcook the pasta. it will continue to cook in the hot soup even after it has been taken off the heat.
• If making this with the intention of freezing or having leftovers prepare the soup as normal but instead cook pasta separately. Cook pasta by itself till al dente to add to soup just before serving.
