Creamy lasagna soup is the perfect comfort meal. Basically it deconstructs all the delicious parts of lasagna into soup form. With a rich warm broth, spicy italian sausage, and tender noodles, topped off with a cheesy ricotta ball, this soup will warm you from the inside out.
Info and tips
When I make my soups, I always season at every step. For example in this recipe I seasoned the italian sausage, the onions and garlic, the broth, and finally one more time before serving. I don’t dump huge amounts of seasoning, but rather small sprinkles here and there to really enhance the flavour of the ingredients. You can season with whatever you’d like, however, my essentials for this recipe were salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder.
Another tip I use frequently to enhance the flavour of the broths (if you by the broth cartons at the store) is to add some soup base to it. I really like Better Than Bouillon. So in this recipe I used maybe a teaspoon of the beef base and added it to the soup. If you add this make sure to taste before adding more salt, as soup bases are pretty high in it!
Another way to really enhance your flavour game is by using fresh herbs. They have so much more flavour than the dried ones and really tie your soup together. I always add mine at the very end with the heat shut off so they don’t boil and lose their vibrancy.
You can also use other meets in this- ground beef, turkey, chicken, pork. Same goes for the broth. Feel free to adjust to your liking!
