This Lasagna Soup Recipe has all the incredible flavor of classic lasagna in a comforting soup. It's easy to make with very little prep work and is ready to serve in just about 30 minutes. It might even be better than the traditional version!
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the 1 1/2 pound lean ground beef, mincing it with a wooden spoon. Once the meat is no longer pink, stir in the 1 onion (diced), 4-5 garlic cloves (minced), 2 teaspoons dried basil, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, Kosher salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes.
Add the 30 ounces marinara sauce sauce and allow the sauce to bubble for 6-8 minutes before adding the 4 cups beef broth.
As the soup simmers, stir in the 8 ounces lasagna noodles. Cook for 15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to al-dente.
Serve soup hot with 1 cup mozzarella cheese (divided) and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (divided).

Notes
Storing leftovers: If you know you’re going to have leftovers keep your noodles separate from the rest of the soup so that the noodles don’t soak up the extra broth and become overly mushy. Store the soup and pasta in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
To freeze: Store the soup and noodles separately in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight
To reheat: Warm up the soup in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Once heated through you can stir in the noodles and heat thoroughly, about 5-10 minutes.
*To make this recipe gluten-free, simply use gluten-free lasagna noodles.
