Let’s face it, Lasagna is a labor of love. This Lasagna soup is great for those times when you want lasagna but don’t want to do any of the work. Finish each bowl off with parmesan and basil and serve it alongside garlic bread or a simple side salad for the most amazing winter dinner. It’s just like lasagna, but lighter and easier.

What I love about this soup recipe is that you only need one pot and it comes together quickly. You can cook the meat and sauce in it, add the lasagna noodles right into the soup to simmer, and let the whole dish cook down together.
