Cozy Lasagna Soup

A comforting family-style soup from Natalie’s kitchen — rich tomato broth, tender lasagna noodles, savory sausage, creamy ricotta, and all the cozy flavor of lasagna without the heaviness.

Our family loves lasagna.

But honestly? Some nights I want all those cozy comforting flavors without the layering, baking, and heaviness of a traditional pan of lasagna.

That’s where this soup comes in.

It has everything we love about classic lasagna — rich tomato broth, Italian herbs, savory sausage, creamy ricotta, tender noodles — but somehow feels lighter, easier, and even cozier served in big warm bowls.

This is one of those recipes that makes the whole house smell incredible while it simmers.

The kind of dinner everyone wanders into the kitchen asking about before it’s even done.

And honestly…the leftovers might be even better the next day.

Why We Love It

Bone Broth + Quality Proteins

Grass-fed beef, pastured sausage, and nourishing broth make this deeply satisfying while supporting overall nourishment.

Herbs + Garlic

Classic Italian flavors that bring warmth, comfort, and richness to the soup naturally.

Almond Ricotta

Creates that creamy silky lasagna texture without making the soup overly heavy.

Comfort Without Overcomplication

All the cozy nostalgic flavor of lasagna in a simpler more approachable weeknight version.

Ingredients

• 1 pound grass-fed beef
• 1 pound pastured pork sausage
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2–3 small carrots, chopped
• 3–4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter
• 1–2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 quart grass-fed beef broth
• 24 ounces canned tomatoes or sauce
• 8 ounces almond ricotta
• 9 ounces almond lasagna sheets

Seasoning Blend

• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
• dried chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• sea salt
• black pepper

Optional:

• parmesan cheese
• parmesan rind
• fresh basil

Directions

In a large stock pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onion, carrots, and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper and sauté until softened and fragrant.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute to deepen the flavor.

Add the broth, tomatoes, and half the seasoning mixture.

Bring to a gentle simmer.

Meanwhile, brown the beef and sausage in a skillet with the remaining seasoning blend.

Add the cooked meat mixture to the soup pot.

Allow the soup to simmer gently for awhile — the longer it cooks, the deeper the flavor becomes.

When ready to serve, cut the thawed lasagna sheets into bite-sized squares and stir them into the soup.

Cook for about 15 minutes until tender.

Lastly, stir in the almond ricotta until melted and creamy throughout the soup.

Serve warm topped with parmesan if desired.

Glow Note

This is one of those meals that instantly makes the kitchen feel like home.

Big bowls. Cozy steam. Bread on the side. Everyone gathering around naturally.

Always my favorite kind of dinner.

Love + Eat Well,
