Cozy Family Nights with Lasagna Soup
There’s something magical about gathering around the table with family, especially when a comforting meal is simmering away in the kitchen. Recently, I decided to bring a twist to our usual lasagna night by making Lasagna Soup—a dish that’s just as rich and cheesy as the classic, but so much easier to prepare.
Why I Love This Recipe
Lasagna is a family favorite, but let’s be honest: it can be a bit of a production. With Lasagna Soup, all those beloved flavors—savory ground beef, tangy tomato sauce, tender noodles, and plenty of melty cheese—come together in one pot. The best part? Minimal prep and cleanup, so I can spend more time with my loved ones.
Cooking Together
I started by browning the ground beef in a Dutch oven, letting the aroma fill the kitchen. My kids helped dice the onion and mince the garlic, making it a true family affair. Once the beef was cooked, we added the onion and garlic, sautéing until everything was fragrant.
Next, we poured in beef broth and marinara sauce, then tossed in fresh parsley, a pinch of cayenne, and Italian seasoning. The soup simmered gently, filling our home with the scent of comfort food. Gradually, we stirred in mozzarella and parmesan, watching them melt into a creamy, luscious base.
When it was time, we added broken lasagna noodles and let them cook until tender. The anticipation grew as we stirred the soup and prepared bowls for serving. Each bowl was topped with a sprinkle of extra cheese—just like traditional lasagna.
Around the Table
As we sat down to eat, conversation flowed and laughter echoed. The soup was rich, hearty, and incredibly easy—a true crowd-pleaser. It brought all the flavors of lasagna to our table with minimal effort, making it perfect for busy weeknights or cozy gatherings.
Final Thoughts
Cooking Lasagna Soup for my family was more than just making dinner—it was about creating memories and savoring comfort together. If you’re looking for a simple, delicious way to enjoy lasagna, give this recipe a try. Your family will thank you!
