Step-by-Step Lasagna Soup Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Start by dicing your onion, garlic, basil, and parsley so everything’s ready to go. This soup moves quickly once it’s cooking!
In a small bowl, make your cheese mixture: combine 2.5 oz Boursin, 1 cup ricotta, ¼ cup Parmesan, and ½ cup mozzarella. Add a pinch of Italian seasoning, a dash of red pepper flakes if you like spice, and stir until smooth. Refrigerate this until you’re ready to serve.
Step 2: Brown the Beef and Aromatics
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 lbs ground beef and cook until fully browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon for flavor.
Next, stir in the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, then add 2 tbsp minced garlic and sauté for another 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Build the Tomato Base
Add 1 tbsp Italian paste and stir to coat the beef mixture — let it toast for 1 minute to develop flavor. Then, pour in 28 oz tomato sauce, 14 oz diced tomatoes, and 4 cups beef broth.
Stir well to combine, then mix in 1 pinch of sugar, ½ tsp red pepper flakes, and a light sprinkle of AP seasoning. Add 1 tsp beef bouillon powder and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4: Simmer & Season
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 8–10 minutes. This helps the flavors deepen and balance. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed — remember that the cheese mixture will add saltiness later.
Step 5: Add the Lasagna Noodles
Break 8 lasagna noodles into 2–3 pieces each and stir them into the pot. Simmer uncovered for 8–12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Step 6: Serve It Up
Once the noodles are ready, ladle the soup into bowls. Add 1–2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture right in the center of each bowl. The warmth from the soup melts it into creamy perfection. Garnish with fresh basil and parsley for that classic Italian finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Lasagna Soup with:
- Garlic bread or toasted baguette slices
- Caesar salad or simple mixed greens
- A sprinkle of extra Parmesan for extra richness
Why This Recipe Works

Whether you’re cooking for a family dinner or meal prepping for the week, this soup hits the spot every time.
