Lasagna Soup
Lasagna Soup is a quick soup recipe loaded with your favorite Italian flavors. Made with ground beef and pasta in a tomato broth with Italian seasonings and loaded with cheese.
A pan of classic Lasagna is hard to top but I have to say we love the soup version even more and it’s ready to serve in just 30 minutes. Serve it with salad and garlic bread for a family favorite meal.
My idea of the perfect weeknight meal is one that is quick and bonus points if it’s made with ground beef. This Lasagna Soup checks all of the boxes and is one of those soups that will have you licking the bowl clean.
