Lasagna Soup is one of those staple recipes for me and my family. It’s so much easier to make that regular lasagna. Plus, it tends to be on the healthier side too because it doesn’t use a ton of cheese and pasta. Well, this recipe for easy healthy lasagna soup is even better.
First off, the soup uses 95% lean ground beef. Second, you use whole wheat noodles. I could not find any whole wheat lasagna noodles at my store. So I used my handy kitchen scale to use the same weight of whole wheat penne pasta instead.
No jarred sauce is used in this recipe either. The tomato soup base includes chicken broth, tomato paste, and canned crushed tomatoes. It also includes a variety of spices that includes onion, basil, oregano, fennel, garlic salt, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. This sauce is not lacking in flavor at all.
Now, we do need SOME cheese in this soup since it is called lasagna soup. You sprinkle a little fresh parmesan on each bowl for serving.
