How to make Creamy Vegetarian Lasagna Soup (Overview)

Making this soup is as easy as pie — or should I say, as easy as lasagna!

Start by sautéing those onions and garlic for that aromatic magic. Then, toss in your vegetables and let them soften up. After they’re all cozy, bring in the crushed tomatoes and broth. When it’s bubbling, that’s your cue to add the noodles.

Pro tip: Don’t skip toasting the garlic — it elevates the flavor to a whole new level!

Once everything’s cooked through, add in that creamy ricotta and top with ooey-gooey cheeses before diving in. It’s a ridiculously satisfying process!

How to serve Creamy Vegetarian Lasagna Soup

Tips to make Creamy Vegetarian Lasagna Soup

1. Noodle Swap: Use gluten-free lasagna noodles for a gluten-free version.

Want to shake things up? Make it vegan by substituting the ricotta with a tofu-based alternative and using nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. Or try adding a kick of spice with red pepper flakes or using different seasonal veggies. The options are endless!
