Lasagna Soup with Garlic Bread Croutons : Comfort Food Meets Crunch

Print Recipe

Lasagna Soup just leveled up. This version is topped with golden, garlicky bread croutons that soak up the rich, brothy tomato base while keeping their crispy bite. It’s everything you love about lasagna—savory meat, melty cheese, and hearty noodles—in a spoonable, slurp-worthy form, finished with buttery croutons and a snowfall of Parmesan. Think French onion soup meets Italian nonna’s favorite dish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage

1 small onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

4 cups beef broth

8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Ricotta, for serving

For the Garlic Croutons:

4 slices Italian bread or baguette

2 tbsp melted butter

1 clove garlic, minced

Pinch of salt and dried parsley

Instructions

Make the Soup: In a large pot, heat olive oil. Sauté onion until soft, then add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Brown the meat, then stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, broth, and seasoning.

Bring to a simmer, then add noodles. Cook until tender, about 10–12 minutes. Stir in mozzarella and half the Parmesan.

Make the Croutons: Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss bread cubes with butter, garlic, salt, and parsley. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp.

Serve: Ladle hot soup into bowls. Top with garlic croutons, a scoop of ricotta, the rest of the Parmesan, and more fresh herbs if desired.
