Ingredients
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces (about 10 noodles)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Directions
1
In a large soup pot, break and cook the noodles to al dente. Drain noodles, add a drizzle of oil, and set aside.
2
Place the pot back on the stove and heat up olive oil on medium. Sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes.
3
Add in meat with oregano. Crumble and brown until cooked.
4
Stir in the tomato paste. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, and 1 cup water.
5
Bring soup up to a simmer and let it slightly reduce for about 10 minutes.

Extra tips for making this easy lasagna soup:
- Keep a tube of tomato paste handy in the fridge to use for recipes like this one instead of opening a can. Then you can easily use as needed for other recipes.
- This soup is highly adaptable to taste. For instance, add some red pepper flakes to make it spicy, or use spicy Italian sausage.
- Next time I may try sautéing a bell pepper and zucchini or spinach for added vegetables along with the onion!
- I used ricotta cheese in this soup and some for garnish, however, if that isn’t appealing you can pour in a little heavy cream at the end instead.
- I am using the new Caraway cookware pieces I received as a gift from my husband! I love this 6.5-quart ceramic dutch oven and how quality it is! Lots of my team members now have Caraway, and I agree with how amazing this line is.

Lasagna soup has been a long-time favorite for our family.
I love how the broth is AMAZING and so flavorful from the sausage. Even people like my hubby who claim to not love soups as a meal really enjoyed it. The leftovers are yummy too warmed up in the microwave the next day. Enjoy!
