Why You'll Love this Soup Recipe
- Delicious Broth Base - Made with Orrington Farms® Beef Flavored Broth Base with Other Natural Flavor! It brings flavor to every meal and it’s a great value at 56 cups per jar. Be sure to follow the Orrington Farms® brand to learn more about their products and find more recipe inspiration.
- One Pot - The best part about the soup recipe is that it's entirely made in one pot. Who doesn't love fewer pots to clean up?
- Comforting - It's the perfect soup to make any time of the year to fill and warm the bellies of the whole family.
Ingredients Needed to Make Stove Top Lasagna Soup
- Olive Oil - Can be used to brown the meat to create the base of the soup.
- Ground Beef - A commonly used ingredient in classic lasagna. Use any ground beef that you prefer, but I like using a lean ground beef mix that is at least 16% to 25% fat. Ground turkey could be used instead.
- Italian Sausage - Use mild or spicy (hot) ground Italian sausage. Try to use uncased sausage to make things easier, but if you can't locate it at your local grocery store, then go ahead and grab the cased individual sausages, pull the meat out, and discard the casing.
- Onion - Use any yellow onion or a white onion, avoid using red onion for this recipe.
- Garlic Cloves - Add freshly minced garlic for the best results and the most intense flavor.
- Tomato Paste - Adds a savory and rich flavor to the soup.
- Italian Seasoning - Cozy spice blend that adds another depth of flavor to the soup recipe.
- Crushed Tomatoes - Creates the tomato flavor base in the soup. Try to use a high-quality can of crushed tomatoes. I love using san marzano tomatoes.
- Orrington Farms® Beef Flavored Broth Base with Other Natural Flavor - Needed to create the base of the soup and help create the broth. Add the fast-dissolving powder that can easily be scooped directly from the container and stirred into the soup to enhance the flavor.
- Pasta - Always needed to make lasagna. You can use regular lasagna noodles and break them up into smaller pieces. Mafalda pasta (mafalda noodles), bowtie pasta (farfalle), or pappardelle could also be used instead.
- Ricotta Cheese - Be sure to go with whole milk ricotta to create a rich and creamy topping.
- Mozzarella Cheese - Grate your block of cheese instead of using the bagged pre-shredded cheese for the best melty cheese.
- Fresh Basil - Add in some freshly chopped fresh basil to complete the cheese topping for herby flavor.
See the recipe card below for exact ingredient quantities and instructions.
How to Make One Pot Lasagna Soup
Begin the recipe by making the cheese topping. In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped basil until combined. Cover and place into the refrigerator until ready to use.
Use a large Dutch oven or stock pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Once heated add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the ground beef and ground Italian sausage.
Use a large wooden spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add in the chopped onion and cook until it begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and stir to combine. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Carefully remove the top from the pot and add in the pasta. Stir to combine, cover again, and continue cooking (stirring occasionally) for an additional 10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls, top with a dollop of ricotta mixture, and serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy!
Best Recipe Tips & Tricks
- If you don't want to add pork, then just add more ground beef instead.
- For a spicy soup, try using spicy sausage and add in some red pepper flakes along with the Italian seasoning.
- To create the soup base you may also use Orrington Farms® Chicken Flavored Broth Base, chicken stock, or beef stock. They all will work.
Storage
If you have any leftover lasagna soup, it's even better the next day!
Storage. Allow it to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating. When ready to reheat the soup, add it to a saucepan on the stovetop over low heat until warm thoroughly. Add some additional broth if more soup liquid is needed.
Freezing. This soup recipe freezes very well minus the cheese topping. Prepare for freezer storage by allowing the soup to cool completely to room temperature before placing it into a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Place the soup into the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
When ready to serve it again transfer it to the refrigerator the night before to allow it to thaw. Reheat on the stovetop in a saucepan over low heat until warm. The noodles will absorb some of the liquid as the soup reheats, so you may need to add more broth base for more liquid.

Happy New Year! Hope all is well. I have a question. Is there another brand of broth base that you can recommend if the one you used in your recipe isn’t available? Thank you for your response.
LaKita says
Hi Shon! Happy New Year!! You can use 7 cups of chicken broth instead of the water and broth base. Also any other brand of broth base or bouillon with water will work as well.
