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

• A hot bowl of this soup definitely is even better with some garlic bread or crusty bread! You can also try some braided pizza bread or pizza dough breadsticks.

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.
