One Pot Lasagna Soup
Same great taste with a fraction of the work.
When you’re in the mood for some good ole fashion Italian comfort food but not the 20 step laborious process of making lasagna. This is quick, easy to put together and so yummy!! I’ve personally been making this one for years and kids ask for it by name.
You musn’t skip the ricotta cheese topping, it really sends this soup over the top and makes it spoon lickin’ good. I add sugar to most of my tomato sauce recipes to stomp out the bitterness. You can omit it if you like. Or just taste your sauce as your cooking and adjust accordingly.

One Pot Lasagna Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 28 oz crushed tomato can
- 2 tbs tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 2-3 tbs sugar (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste

Ricotta Scoop Topping:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tbs fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat oil on medium high. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the sausage and using a wooden spoon, break up the meat until no longer pink – about 5 minutes. Drain the fat from the pot as desired.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings, salt & pepper to taste and sugar, stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes, POT COVERED. Taste the soup and adjust the salt or any seasonings necessary.
- Next, add the lasagna pieces into the pot, stir and cover. Cook another 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Serve soup with a scoop of this mixture and chili pepper flakes.

How to make this vegetarian? Have you tried?
Hi Beck, I have not tried but you can use White Northern beans instead of the meat… or sub in the tomatoes for some roasted butternut squash or pumpkin…? Please comment back if you do try it that way .. happy holidays!
Hi! I’m doing two pots myself right now..one with pork sausage and one with Beyond “sausage” (should be in the meat case with the other Impossible or Beyond products. My local Walmart carries it).
Hi Melanie! I love the vegetarian alternative with this soup! Great idea! Hope you enjoyed and thank you for taking the time to comment and rate! Happy holidays!
Absolutely I Use Impossible Sausage All The Time, People Would Never Know Unless You Tell Them, I Use Meatless A Lot!!
Made this tonight… yummy! It was easy n fast 😋
Hi Gina! This is definitely one of my family’s favorites! SO happy you liked the soup and thank you for taking the time to comment and rate it!!

100 percent!!!
Just made this tonight. I’m GF and Dairy Free. I was able to modify it & my family still gets their scoop of cheeses. Will definitely make this again.
Hi Kathy! Happy the whole family was able to enjoy! Thank you for rating and commenting!!
The soup came out great! It was quite easy to cook as well. I used ground beef instead of Italian sausage. So yum! Can’t wait to try some more recipes out!
Hi Melina, MMMM I have to try it with ground beef! Glad you enjoyed it!
Made it for Christmas instead of the traditional holiday food. It was delicious. I was surprised how well it turned out!
Hello! Happy you enjoyed this soup.. it’s one of my family’s favorites!
So delicious! Can’t wait to make this again.
Hi Annie, thank you for trying the soup out and I’m very happy it was enjoyed!!
Hi! It’s me again.
Will a 6qt casserole pan work for this?
Yes!
Super delicious! My kids love stirring in the ricotta on top, a fun take on lasagna!
Yes this is a winner with my kids too! Thanks so much for trying it out!
This was so amazing that I made it 2 days in a row. I left out the sausage and used gluten free brown rice noodles. Love it!
HI Cynthia, I believe you! This is a family favorite! Thank you for trying it and the rating!!
This is an excellent soup, love the ricotta mixture! I plan on serving this Christmas Eve.
Hi Lisa, Fantastic so happy you enjoyed it! Its perfect for the holidays! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
This is an amazing soup! Thank you!!
This is one of our favorite soups! My husband is NOT a fan of soup, at least he has told me several times. But this he has asked me for at least 6 times now! I love that it’s so easy! I love that it’s filling! Best part is the cheese scoop on top! I could eat that alone and be a happy girl! My picky eater 10 year old even loves this soup… and he won’t touch spaghetti 🤣
Hello Brooke! I happen to agree with you on the scoop! its a must add on! Happy its a winner with the whole family – even the picky ones! Thank you for leaving your kind feedback! Cheers!
Listen! This is so yummy! Made it with fresh garlic bread
Outstanding! I doubled it for my family!
They are every bit!
Thanks Stella.
I made this today it’s so easy to make and so delicious 😋
Will half and half work?
yes it will work here!
excellent recipe!
Hi Mary, glad you liked the soup!
Can I use cottage cheese in place of the ricotta cheese?
Hi Melissa, that’s a great substitute here! I have tried it and its awesome! Enjoy!
Hi I Made Your One Pot Lasagna Soup And It Was Amazing!! I Switched Out The Italian Sausage For Impossible Sausage And The Chicken Broth For Vegetable Broth To Make It Vegetarian, Because I Can’t Digest Any Meats, But I Am Not A Vegan! My Husband And I Loved This Recipe!!
I Regularly Switch Out The Meats In Recipes For Either Morningstar Farms Or Gardein Or Impossible Or Beyond Meatless Choices!! I Have Never Had A Problem With Taste Because These Replacement Choices All Taste Great Alone Too!! Thanks Again Stella For Another Great Recipe!!!
