Creamy Spicy Lasagna Soup – great for when you’re wanting lasagna…but not all the work. A mix of vegetables simmered with meat, spicy sausage, Italian seasonings, tomatoes, and lasagna noodles. Finish each bowl off with parmesan and serve with your favorite garlic bread. It’s warming and so delicious, just like lasagna, but lighter and easier.
I so badly wanted to share a super classic, traditional style lasagna with you guys this year. It’s something I often make around the holidays when all of my family is in town because it serves so many people. I usually make one traditional lasagna with meat and white lasagna with just vegetables.
Lasagna can be time consuming to make, but also nice because once they’re in the oven, you’re pretty much done.
All that said, this week is just so busy. Layering up lasagnas is sometimes just too much. So, I thought lasagna soup would be the perfect comprise. I even have a white lasagna soup I can make too, so it’s perfect.
And this is delicious. A also a little less heavy than a whole lasagna, so it’s nice for a simple weeknight dinner over the holidays!
Here are the details
What I love about this recipe is just how fast it really does come together. You need mostly one pot, then a pot to boil the noodles in.
I start with the veggies and cook those off, then add in the spices and meat. For the meat, I’ve really gotten into using ground bison lately, it’s so much healthier (bison even has lower cholesterol levels than chicken). It also has great flavor. But ground chicken or beef work great too! Then, for a little more flavor I use some spicy Italian sausage. My family loves this, but of course, you can use addition ground meat if you prefer not to cook with sausage.
Once the meat is added, next comes the tomatoes paste, wine, crushed tomatoes, and a bit of broth. Simmer this for few minutes, or longer if you have more time.
At this point the soup is pretty much complete, so you can let it cook over low heat to develop more flavor, or move onto the noodles.
Boil off the noodles, then stir them into the soup with a mix of Italian cheeses. I like to let the soup thicken a little, then ladle it into bowls with parmesan on top.
This is great to serve with a nice winter salad and garlic bread on the side.
The perfect dinner to entertain with this holiday season. You can prepare the base of the soup in advance, keep it on the stove all day, then add the noodles just before dinner.
Love dishes like this for holiday entertaining…they make life so easy! And my cousins all love soup, so this wil be great!

Hey Megan,
Happy Sunday!! Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try and your comment, so glad to hear it was enjoyed! xT
This was a great recipe!! I would love to know if you think the recipe minus the noodles is freeze-able? It would be so good as a postpartum meal and easy if I could reheat from the freezer and add noodles!!!
Also wondering about this! Would love to make it for my friend who is going to be a mama soon!
Yes, this would be a great soup to freeze!
Hey Stephanie,

Question- Can I make the day before and just not put noodles in until heating to serve??
Hey Barbara,
Totally, that would be just fine for you to do! Please let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope you love it! xx
Made this soup tonight and topped it with a spoonful of ricotta mixed with the shredded cheese and fresh parm. It was delicious.
Hey Liz,
Awesome!! So glad to hear that this recipe was enjoyed and thanks so much for making it! Have a great weekend:)
Delicious! Easy, made it vegetarian with fake (beyond) beef and it was a knockout. The whole family said it was the best meal I’ve made in a month. Great for a cold night when you want something delicious and comforting.
Hey Elke,
Happy Friday!!⛄️❄️ I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your review, so glad to hear it turned out well for you! xT
Delicious and easy – great leftovers for lunch, too!
Hey Anna,
Awesome!! So glad to hear that this recipe was a hit, thanks so much for making it! xx
I made this soup for our block (8 people). I live on a beach island that has a large summer population but a small community during the winter. The soup was a big hit. Everyone thought it was delicious! I did too. It’s a perfect, filling, winter meal.
My only beef is that the prep time was supposed to be 15 minutes! I knew that was no way possible unless I had a prep cook in my kitchen, but it is only me. The prep took about 60 minutes!
Hey Regina,
Happy Friday!!⛄️❄️ I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your review, so glad to hear it turned out well for you! Sorry this took longer than expected! xT
Made this last night and my family loved it! Curious if you could boil the pasta in the pot with everything else or would all that extra starch mess with the soup?
Hey Juan,
Happy Friday!!⛄️❄️ I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your review, so glad to hear it turned out well for you! I like to do the pasta separate so it doesn’t absorb all of the broth. xT
Loved the soup! I added a whole can of coconut milk and used GF refrigerated lasagna noodles~ I cut them in varying pieces, due to the fact they are rectangle in size, and put them in the pot as you would a cooked noodle. [the refrigerated noodles are the closest to gluten that I have found! My husband cannot tell they are GF] Worked perfect! Thank you for the wonderful and filling recipe.
Hey Cheryl,
Happy Thursday! So glad to hear that you enjoyed this recipe and thanks so much for making it! xT

Hi JJ,
Thanks for giving this recipe a try and sharing your feedback! Sorry to hear you didn’t love it! xx
Haven’t tried recipe yet, but I’m wondering if you know a sub for the white wine (or can I just leave it out?) normally I’d use it and then drink whatever is left over but I’m pregnant 😂 so don’t want to waste the money!
Completely agree, and I am pregnant also! Would love to know if you can sub out the white wine and with what?
Hey Allyson,
Broth will work well in place of the wine:) xx
Hey Jessica,
You can just use additional broth in place of the wine:) Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love this recipe! xx
