Why You’ll Love This Creamy Lasagna Soup With Sausage And Ground Beef

This lasagna soup hits all the right notes: it’s creamy without being too heavy, full of bold Italian spices, and has that irresistible cheese-pull moment in every bite. The combo of sausage and beef gives it a richness that balances beautifully with the tangy tomato base. It’s also a great way to enjoy lasagna without all the layering work.

What Kind of Pasta Should I Use for Lasagna Soup?

Traditional lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces are the classic choice, but you can switch it up with mafalda, fusilli, or even bowtie pasta. The key is to pick something that holds up well in broth without turning mushy.

Ingredients for the Creamy Lasagna Soup With Sausage And Ground Beef

This soup comes together with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Each one plays a key role in building the layers of rich, lasagna-inspired flavor.

Ground beef adds hearty depth and a classic meaty flavor that anchors the soup.

Italian sausage brings spice and richness that pairs perfectly with the tomato and cheese.

Onion builds the aromatic base and adds natural sweetness.

Garlic infuses the broth with essential savory flavor.

Crushed tomatoes give the soup its classic lasagna taste and body.

Tomato paste deepens the flavor and thickens the broth slightly.

Chicken or beef broth forms the comforting base that everything simmers in.

Italian seasoning gives that distinct herbaceous note that makes this soup sing.

Red pepper flakes offer a gentle kick, adjustable to taste.

Heavy cream or half and half makes it wonderfully creamy and luscious.

Lasagna noodles broken into pieces bring the texture and bite.

Ricotta cheese adds that creamy dollop that mimics the layers in baked lasagna.

Mozzarella and Parmesan give you melty, stretchy, and nutty cheesy goodness.

Fresh basil or parsley adds brightness at the end.

How To Make the Creamy Lasagna Soup With Sausage And Ground Beef

Step 1: Brown the Meats

Start by browning the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Break up the meat as it cooks, and once browned, drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened, then stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3: Build the Broth

Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a simmer and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors meld.

Step 4: Add the Pasta

Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup and cook until al dente. Stir often so they don’t stick together.

Step 5: Make It Creamy

Once the pasta is tender, reduce the heat and stir in the cream. Simmer gently for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6: Add the Cheese

Just before serving, stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted. Serve hot with a generous dollop of ricotta on top and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Serving and Storing This Creamy Lasagna Soup With Sausage And Ground Beef

This hearty soup is perfect for feeding about 6 to 8 people. Serve it hot with some crusty garlic bread or a simple green salad on the side. If you’re planning for leftovers, consider storing the noodles separately so they don’t soak up too much broth and turn mushy.

To store, let the soup cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It also freezes well without the noodles and dairy—just add those fresh when reheating.
