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!

So good and filling. I eliminated the milk and added mushrooms and frozen spinach. I used Ground Turkey and Turkey sausage. So so good.

I made this for the first time a couple weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since! It is so good and great as leftovers also! Making it again tonight 🙂
Hey Regan,

Tried this recipe tonight. Your soups are the kind of soups I love – hearty, full of flavor, lots of different textures. I hated soups until I started making yours. Now I make one of your soups a few times a month. Thanks for this lovely recipe – adding this one to my box. I just used a pound of the spicy italian sausage only, cayenne pepper instead of the flakes, and a turkey bone both I made and canned from Thanksgiving turkey leftovers. I’m not a fan of provolone so I used Agour cheese – a Spanish sheep’s milk semi-hard cheese. It was delicious!
Hey there,
Happy Sunday! So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe, thanks a lot for making it! xxT
Wonderful and hearty soup. My children loved it! We served with sourdough bread. Thank you!

Can you leave the wine out?
Hi Jennifer,
You will want to use broth in place of the wine. Please let me know if you give the recipe a try, I hope you love it! xTieghan
Do you think this would freeze well?
Hey Alyson,
Yes, I would freeze without the noodles though. I hope you love there recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
This soup is amazing-I used a little less garlic (4 cloves) but used the Campbell’s Roasted Garlic Chicken broth. Can’t wait to make it again!
Hey Julie,
Awesome!! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a lot for making it. Have the best week! xTieghan
This was my first savory recipe from your site and we loved it! I used a full pound each of beef and spicy sausage and cooked those down first so I could drain it before adding to the veggies. Great recipe that my husband declared “a keeper”! Definitely adding it to my winter soup collection.
Hey Kati,
Awesome!! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a lot for making it. Have the best week! xTieghan
I made this lasagna soup at it was delicious. I cooked everything in my crockpot express. I was kind of worried that the noodles wouldn’t turn out correct but I turned the crockpot on the soup setting to cook the noodles and then back in slow cook for 1 min. I can’t wait to try more of your receipts. Thank you
Hey Olivia,

Amazing. Love it more than traditional lasagne, not too heavy Perfect spice level.
Question, do I include both cheeses with noodles and then more Parmesan for garnish?
Any suggestions of I double recipe?
This soup will be served many times in this household.
Hey Missy,
Fantastic! Thanks a lot for making this recipe, I love to hear that it was enjoyed! Yes, that is correct, both cheeses in step 4. Just make sure you have a large enough pot if you plan to double the recipe. Happy New Year!? xxT
I’m going to try this tomorrow night!
I hope you love the recipe Stephanie! xTieghan
At any point is the cooked sausage and meat drained? Wondering if it becomes greasy. I would be using ground beef and sausage. Thanks.
Hey Karin,
If you have more than about 1 tablespoon of grease, I would drain that. Please let me know if you give the recipe a try, I hope you love it! xTieghan
Delicious! I went with all hot Italian sausage and skipped the cheese altogether as dairy and I don’t get along. Threw in oven ready lasagna noodles before the coconut milk to skip another pot. Turned out great, and the hubs liked it. Will make again!
Hey Kate,
Wonderful! I am thrilled to hear this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for giving it a go! Happy New Year!? xTieghan
