This post is generously sponsored by Furlani and Canada Beef and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! There are so many lasagna-inspired recipes we love! From this Classic Lasagna recipe and Skillet Lasagna, to Taco Lasagna, BBQ Chili Cheese Lasagna, you name it. But this Lasagna Soup? Well, it’s been touted by my kids as one of the best meals they’ve ever had. This Lasagna Soup recipe is everyone’s favorite pasta bake in soup form! It has all of the delicious flavors and textures of lasagna, but instead of taking time to assemble a lasagna casserole, you can just toss it all into one pot and dinner is ready in no time. This soup is loaded with so much sweet tomato flavor, veggies, three types of cheese, the perfect blend of seasonings, and lean ground beef that’s raised right here with pride by Canadian farmers and ranchers in each and every province across the country. Like all beef, Canadian beef is packed with protein and vital nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin B12. I love to serve a steaming hot bowl of lasagna soup next to a side of toasted garlic bread from Furlani, which makes the perfect easy side dish. Just heat it up in the oven and bask in its buttery, garlicky goodness! I love to keep a stash in the freezer for a quick addition to any meal!
Ingredients for lasagna soup:
Oil: used to cook the ground beef and onion. If you are using a non-stick skillet, you can even skip this part. Ground Beef: I use lean ground beef for this recipe — Canada’s most popular meat sold! You can swap for medium or regular ground beef, but you will want to drain the meat after browning and before you continue making the soup. Regular and Medium ground beef do deliver more of a beefy flavour punch, just be sure to drain the fat after browning. Extra Lean is also an option that works well. Onion: sautéed with the beef to add flavour. Tomato Paste: helps thicken the soup and enhance the tomato flavour. Garlic: I like to use freshly minced garlic for a more intense flavour, but pre-minced will work as well. Seasonings: you’ll need a simple blend of Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Beef Broth: a flavourful base for the soup. Always use low sodium and adjust the seasonings to taste. Diced Tomatoes: no need to drain the can. The liquid becomes part of the broth so you get all of that flavour with it! Tomato Pasta Sauce: just use your favourite variety. Parmesan Rind: optional but the rind dissolves into the hot soup and gives it so much salty, cheesy flavour! Spinach: use fresh, chopped spinach. Frozen spinach will work as well, but you will want to add it while the pasta cooks so that the spinach has time to thaw. Pasta: you can cook the pasta first or cook it directly in the soup depending on your preference! You can use any short pasta, and even broken lasagna or oven ready lasagna noodles. Oven ready noodles may cook more quickly than regular lasagna noodles. Garlic Toast: this Lasagna Soup served next to a slice of Furlani® garlic Texas toast just can’t be beat! Toppings: top each bowl of soup off with a scoop of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, shredded Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh basil! Feel free to use whichever cheeses and herbs you have on hand.

How to make Instant Pot Lasagna Soup
This lasagna soup is also super easy to make in the instant pot! Here’s how:
Variations
Add more veggies. Kick the veggie portion up a notch by simply adding more veggies with the beef and onion. Add diced bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, celery, you name it. Make it creamy. The soup becomes creamier with the addition of the cheeses, but you can make the broth even creamier with a splash of half-and-half, heavy cream, cream cheese, or even sour cream just before serving. Spice it up. Make your lasagna soup extra spicy by adding more red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
Serving suggestions
I always serve this lasagna soup with garlic Texas toast from Furlani®! You can find Furlani bread products in the bakery and frozen food section at your local grocery store. The combination of buttery bread and cheesy soup makes the absolute perfect meal! Round out your meal up even more with a side of steamed or raw veggies if you desire.
