    One-Pan Lasagne Soup

    Published: Feb 13, 2023 by Nicky Corbishley

    Are you a fan of a saucy lasagne? Well this lasagne soup is a sauce-lovers heaven!
    It's a simpler form of lasagne, all cooked in one pan and topped off with plenty of cheese.
    It freezes really well, so I've written this as a big-batch recipe - so you can eat some for dinner and freeze the rest for another night.

    I'm a bit of a fan of sloppy lasagne.

    Maybe i've just become conditioned to it -  because most of the time my lasagne spreads out on the plate as soon as I dish it up!
    I want the look of a perfectly sliced piece of lasagne, but I always lean towards adding more liquid because I want the taste of a cheesy, saucy gooey version!

    Can't have it both ways, so if you're craving that extra saucy version, I'd totally go with lasagne soup - it's saucy and gooey and it's supposed to look like that.

    (....but if you do want the regular version - here's my homemade lasagne recipe)

    👩‍🍳PRO TIP If you're freezing portions of this, scoop out portions before you add the cheese ⬇️ - then add cheese right before serving.

    Of course there's no bechamel/white sauce in this soup - that would involve dirtying another pan!
    The addition of a little double cream is used in place of it for a hint of that creamy flavor.

    Serve topped with parsley and black pepper - as well as shredded cheese, for a hearty and easy dinner that everyone will love!

    ✎ Notes

    Can it be made ahead?
    Yes, you can make this recipe ahead, then cool, cover and refrigerate it for 2-3 days.
    The pasta will absorb more liquid during this time, so the pasta will be softer and there will be less liquid.
    Reheat the soup in a pan (or in bowls in the microwave), stirring often, until piping hot.
    You can add in more water or stock to thin our the consistency during reheating.
    I recommend adding the cheese right before serving.
    Can it be frozen?
    Any leftover soup can be cooled, covered and frozen.
    If you are planning on freezing, then I would recommend taking out the servings you're going to freeze before adding the cheese (don't worry if you're freezing leftovers and it has cheese on though - it's just nicer to add the cheese right before serving).
    Defrost the soup in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in a pan (or in bowls in the microwave), stirring often, until piping hot.
    The pasta will absorb more liquid during this time, so the pasta will be softer and there will be less liquid.
    You can add in more water or stock to thin our the consistency during reheating.
    Can I use fresh lasagne sheets?
    Yes, you can use fresh lasagne, but fresh lasagne will absorb less liquid and will take less time to cook.
    I would recommend using half the amount of stock. Simmer the soup, after adding the stock, tinned tomatoes and herbs (but before adding the fresh lasagne sheets), for 10 minutes. Then add in the chopped/torn fresh lasagne sheets and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the pasta is tender.

      This one is a winner! Easy peasy as my granddaughter would say. Marrying soup and lasagne is a wonderful idea...have you anymore Combos?

      I love the idea of this soup - it looks like comfort food, to be sure!
      And I also love that you list the ingredients AGAIN, under the individual steps, in an effort to prevent we, who are having "grey hair" moments, a chance of forgetting one (especially when baking).

      Love your one pot/pan meals, so fab for midweek dinners (creates less washing up). This is another hit with the family.

      I love the idea of lasagna soup!! I'm vegetarian, what do you think I could use instead of ground meat?

        Hi Tabata,
        I'd go with a chunky vegetable version - using courgette (zucchini), bell peppers and mushroom (a mixture of finely chopped mushroom and big chunks of mushroom).
        I might even try that myself 🙂
