Lasagna Soup Recipe
Who doesn’t love lasagna? Loaded with meat and veggies, hearty, and packed with Italian herbs and sauce? Make it into soup form, and I’m all in!
Sometimes you don’t want to do all the lasagna or even Lasagna Roll Ups prep work, so I’m so happy for an amazing soup that tastes just as good as the real thing. This is a perfect weeknight meal with tons of leftovers!

There may be many lasagna soup recipes, but this classic one, gluten-free or not, has been loved since 2017! Scroll down for the full recipe!

Serve Your Lasagna Soup With
This is a full hearty meal on it’s own, especially with bonus added spinach, but would be great with Gluten-Free Garlic Bread and a side of Garlicky Blistered Green Beans!
Noodles for Your Lasagna Soup
Do I have to use gluten-free lasagna noodles? Nope, but nobody will know the difference if you do!
Really any noodles will work, but I love buying (gluten-free) lasagna noodles and simply breaking them into pieces by hand! Roughly about about 1.5 inch pieces and toss them right into the pot. Remember pasta will expand when they cook, hence having extra broth on hand!
My favorite gluten-free brand for this is Jovial!
Lasagna Soup Tips!
- When reheating for later, or if the noodles soak up too much broth, add additional chicken broth to the pot as desired. If so, taste and adjust spices as desired!
- My favorite way to make this is to use ground beef and spicy Italian sausage.
- Yes, any pasta will work but for lasagna style, break-up full lasagna noodles!
- You can totally omit the sausage! Or use less spicy, for kids!
Crock Pot Lasagna Soup
To make it in the slow cooker…
- Cook onion, garlic, beef and sausage over medium-high heat until no pink remains; drain. Place in slow cooker.
- Add all remaining soup ingredients except pasta & spinach.
- Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 3 hours.
- Take regular lasagna noodles and break them into pieces that are about about 1.5 inch pieces and cook pasta according to package directions.
- Stir in cooked pasta and spinach. Cover and cook an additional 10 minutes!
Storing Lasagna Soup Recipe
Store your lasagna soup for 3-5 days in a container in the refrigerator.
While it’s best eaten the night of, but also great the next few days! Just add more broth and spices as needed when reheating as the noodles will soak up the broth.

I love this soup. So delicious!
Hi Lexi!
To piggy-back on the last comment, could you provide instructions (if possible!) to do the meat browning portion of this recipe in the instant pot? I am wondering if I could saute the garlic, onion and meat in the instant pot using the Saute setting, then switch it over to slow cook for the remainder of the recipe? Let me know what you think! Thank you!
I thought I saw this recipe for an instant pot but now don’t see it in the recipe. Is there a way to use the instant pot on this?
This is not an IP recipe, but I do have many! If making in the IP, I’d add the the noodles as you eat or at the end (pre-cooked)
I made the lasagna soup in the slow cooker, so easy to do!! It was delicious and even better was that my husband keep saying “wow this is really good!!!!” – he even told his friend about this healthy meal (which never happens) ? we will be making this one again for sure!! ??
Any tips on making this vegetarian? Looks delicious
Does anyone have nutritional information for this recipes? I have to keep a log for my doctor, calories, carbs, fiber, etc. Thanks!
Made this for dinner tonight and we loved it. I served the noodles on the side since I’m trying to eat lower carb. Thank you.
I love soup and this one goes to the top of the list. My kids 5 and 7 couldn’t get enough.
This looks delicious! Do you have Instant Pot directions?
Thanks!

Lasagna soup? I can’t believe I never thought of this before. I can’t wait to try it!
YAY. Enjoy!
Looks amazing! I cannot wait to make this! How are the noodles as leftovers? I’m planning on making a batch of this for my grandparents and I don’t want the noodles to be mushy!
They’re good, just add more broth/spices if needed when reheating!
