Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- 1 zucchini
- 15 oz. diced tomatoes
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 8 oz. lasagna noodles
- ¼ pound of fresh spinach
- 15 oz of ricotta
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup of Parmesan (grated or shredded)
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- Freshly cracked pepper
Get Started
- To get started, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and olive oil to a large soup pot. Sauté the ingredients over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and transparent.
- While waiting for the onions, start working on the carrots and zucchini. The carrots should be peeled and sliced while the zucchini should be sliced and then cut into quarter rounds. Add the sliced vegetables to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes, or until the zucchini begins to soften.
- Next, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning blend, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir the ingredients together.
- Place a lid on the combined ingredients, turn the heat up to a medium-high, and allow the pot to boil.
- While waiting for the soup to boil, start breaking the lasagna noodles into pieces. Place the 1-inch pieces into the boiling soup and allow to boil until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- As the pasta boils, combine the ricotta cheese, ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella, parmesan, salt, and pepper into a bowl. Stir until mixed well.
- Once the pasta is tender, add frozen spinach. Stir until the spinach has thawed and is mixed into the soup.
- The dish is ready to serve! Place a spoonful of the cheese blend into each bowl and put the soup on top.
- Finally, add a pinch of shredded mozzarella on top to pull the whole thing together.
There you have it! An amazingly delicious lasagna soup to keep you warm throughout the chilly nights.
