It’s officially lasagna soup season and I couldn’t be happier about it. This is a perfect dish because it takes a fairly tedious recipe, lasagna, and turns it into a 30-minute meal. Yes, you can have all the flavors, textures, and comfort of lasagna in a little more than half an hour. TBH, I think I like lasagna in soup form better than the traditional way because it’s not so heavy while still maintaining it’s warmth, comfort, and cheesiness!

Lasagna soup recipes are ubiquitous across the Internet; I learned about it years ago while scrolling through Pinterest and now it’s a staple meal in my house. While the concept isn’t unique, this is how I make it and I think it’s a pretty darn good variation.

There are a couple of key decisions I’ve made that make this recipe a great one. First, I use sweet Italian sausage instead of ground beef. The Italian sausage adds extra flavor from it’s seasoning and I like the richer texture of the pork fat.

The other choice here is pasta choice and my favorite shape for this recipe is radiatore because the bite-sized shape is reminiscent of lasagna noodles, especially the way the edges are scalloped, and are easy to find in any grocery store. There are other shapes that are slightly more close to a lasagna noodle shape like reginetti or mini mafalda, but those are pasta shapes you’d need to hunt for a bit more (they are available on Amazon, but for a high cost.)

Make this recipe once and you will be sure to make it again and again. You might even retire your lasagna pan!
