Plus, it’s naturally gluten free, so anyone avoiding gluten can enjoy it without missing out. The best part? It’s packed with veggies, protein, and that classic tomato-cheese combo that hits the spot every time.

Variations and Substitutions

Not a fan of ground beef? No worries, swap it out for ground turkey or chicken. Want to make it vegetarian? Use lentils or mushrooms for that hearty texture. For the cheese lovers, feel free to add extra mozzarella or even a sprinkle of Parmesan on top. If you don’t have gluten free lasagna noodles, gluten free pasta shapes like penne or rotini work just as well. Ever tried adding a pinch of red pepper flakes? It gives the soup a little kick that wakes up your taste buds.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the lineup for this tasty soup:

  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (gluten free)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 ounces gluten free lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

How I Make Gluten Free Lasagna Soup Recipe

Here’s my go-to method that keeps things simple and flavorful:

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add diced onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth, then stir in basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Toss in the broken gluten free lasagna noodles and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
  6. Stir in the ricotta cheese to add creaminess, then sprinkle mozzarella on top.
  7. Let the cheese melt slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if you want to get fancy.

Pro Tips for Gluten Free Lasagna Soup Recipe

Ever noticed how gluten free noodles sometimes get mushy? To avoid that, add the noodles towards the end of cooking and keep an eye on them. Also, don’t skip draining the ground beef well; too much grease can make the soup heavy. If you want a thicker soup, simmer it a bit longer without the lid to let some liquid evaporate. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a splash of red wine in the broth adds depth that’s hard to beat.

Leftovers

This soup tastes just as good the next day, if not better. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it up because the noodles soak up liquid overnight. You can also freeze it, but keep in mind the noodles might soften even more after thawing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t overcook the gluten free noodles or you’ll end up with a mushy mess. Also, avoid skipping the cheese—it’s the soul of this soup and what makes it feel like lasagna. Lastly, don’t forget to season well; tomatoes and broth can be bland without enough herbs and salt.
