How to Make Vegetable Lasagna Soup
Making this soup is incredibly simple, and you have two options: stovetop or pressure cooker (Instant Pot).
1️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables – Start by cooking the onion, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper in a large pot with a bit of olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
2️⃣ Build the Broth – Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, broth, and seasonings. Let it simmer to develop flavors.
3️⃣ Add the Pasta – Toss in broken lasagna sheets and let them cook until tender.
4️⃣ Finish with Spinach – Stir in fresh spinach at the end for a nutritious boost.
5️⃣ Serve with Cheese – Top each bowl with a generous scoop of the ricotta-mozzarella mixture and fresh basil.
For the pressure cooker method, it’s even easier: sauté the vegetables, add the broth and pasta, and let the Instant Pot do the work! A quick release of pressure, a final stir of spinach, and it’s ready to enjoy.
Customization Ideas
This soup is incredibly versatile! Here are some ideas to make it your own:
🥦 Add More Veggies – Try adding eggplant, kale, or bell peppers for extra texture.
🌱 Make It Vegan – Swap the cheese for dairy-free alternatives or use nutritional yeast.
🍗 Boost the Protein – Stir in white beans, lentils, or tofu for added heartiness.
🌶 Spice It Up – Add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
🍞 Serve It Up – Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Storage and Meal Prep
🍲 Refrigerate – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The pasta may absorb some broth, so add a splash of veggie stock when reheating.
❄️ Freeze – For best results, freeze the soup without pasta for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, cook fresh pasta separately and add it when reheating.
🔥 Reheat – Warm on the stovetop over low heat or microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
