Recipe Tips

• Can I use ground turkey instead of beef? Yes, ground turkey is a leaner option and works great in this recipe.
• How to avoid overcooked noodles: Add noodles only in the last 30–45 minutes to keep them from turning mushy.
• Can I prep this ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the base ahead and refrigerate or freeze it, then add noodles when ready to cook.
• Best cheeses for topping: Stick with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan for that authentic lasagna flavor.
• Can I make this vegetarian? Swap the ground beef and beef broth for lentils and vegetable broth.

How To Store Lasagna Soup

FAQs

Can I use oven-ready lasagna noodles?
Yes, but reduce cooking time slightly, as they soften faster than regular noodles.

Why did my noodles soak up all the broth?
Noodles continue to absorb liquid as the soup sits. Add extra broth when reheating.

Can I make this in an Instant Pot?
Yes—use the sauté function to brown the beef, then pressure cook for 10 minutes before adding noodles.

What’s the best way to reheat this soup?
Reheat on the stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth if it’s too thick.
