    Storage

    List how to store this dish in the fridge/how long it's safe to do so etc.

    • Refrigerator: Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
    • Freezer: You can freeze the soup base without the noodles. Cook and add the noodles when reheating for the best texture. You can freeze the soup for up to three months. Thaw it out in the fridge overnight before reheating.
    • Reheat: You can use a microwave or stovetop to reheat your lasagna soup. For the microwave, transfer the soup to a microwave-safe bowl, cover it, and heat at 50-60% power in one minute long intervals. Be sure to stir the soup between intervals until it's heated through.

      When reheating on the stove, pour the soup into a pot and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup reaches your desired temperature.
    • Make Ahead: Prepare the soup base in advance and keep it refrigerated. Cook the noodles separately and refrigerate in a separate container. This way, you can reheat the soup and combine with noodles just before serving. Adding the noodles at the last minute will prevent them from becoming too soft or mushy.

    What to Serve with Lasagna Soup

    Tips

    • Stir the ground meat frequently while browning to ensure it cooks evenly without burning and breaks up nicely.
    • Drain the excess fat from the meat after browning so the soup doesn't end up too greasy. Simply pour it into a colander and let it drain off.
    • Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go until it's just the way you want it.
    • Don't overcook your lasagna noodles. They will cook a bit more when you add them to the soup.

    FAQ

    Can you make this lasagna soup in the Instant Pot.

    Yes, it makes a quick and convenient alternative. Sauté the onions, garlic, and your ground beef using the Instant Pot's sauté function. Then, add in diced tomatoes, marinara, seasonings, broth, and noodles. Close the lid, set the Instant Pot to manual pressure cook on high, and adjust the timer to cook for the recommended time of your choice of pasta (usually around 4-6 minutes for regular pasta). Once the pressure cooking has finished, release the pressure immediately, open the lid, and serve up with your topping.

    Is there a vegetarian version of lasagna soup?

    Yes, you can easily make a vegetarian version of lasagna soup by simply omitting the meat or using a meat substitute, like tofu crumbles. Remember to replace the meat-based broth with a vegetable one to keep the dish completely vegetarian.

    How can I prevent watery lasagna soup?

    To prevent watery lasagna soup, ensure that you do not add too much liquid while cooking the soup. Start by using the recommended amount of broth in the recipe, and monitor the soup's consistency as you go. If you find it too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.
