Lasagna Soup


This hearty pasta soup, packed with all the familiar flavors of a bubbling pan of lasagna, comes together in under 30 minutes. A spoonful of harissa, a spicy North African chile paste, and a splash of white wine, give the tomato-based broth a mild kick and bright finish to balance the rich and creamy three-cheese topping. 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is lasagna soup made of?

    Lasagna soup is a twist on the classic Italian pasta dish, incorporating all the flavors of traditional lasagna into a comforting and hearty soup. It typically has a rich tomato-based broth flavored with Italian herbs, ground beef or Italian sausage, and broken lasagna noodles. A spoon full of ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan are added to the soup just before serving, melting into the broth and creating a luscious texture reminiscent of lasagna. 

  • What wine goes with lasagna soup?

    Italian reds like Chianti, Sangiovese, or Barbera for their bright acidity and fruity notes that complement the dish's savory flavors. Merlot also works well with its smooth texture and fruitiness.

Notes from the Food & Wine Test Kitchen

Bring the ricotta to room temperature as the soup cooks to ensure it blends smoothly with your soup. 

Suggested pairing

For this comforting take on a classic, try pairing with a juicy, medium-bodied red, like Ramón Bilbao Edición Limitada Garnacha.

Make ahead

Store soup in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three days. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before storing. As the soup sits, the pasta may absorb more liquid. Add a little more water or stock when reheating.
