This soup is one of my all-time favorite meals to enjoy when it's cold out. It is extremely satisfying!! Take your time with this one as it needs a little extra TLC to ensure all of the flavors come together.
Watch me make Lasagne Soup here
Lasagne Soup is fragrant
Fresh basil, garlic, onions, bay leaves, and spices, plus an added bonus on top is what makes this soup extra special. It really is like having a forkful of lasagna in a deconstructed way.
You can use a slow cooker or instant pot
You can definitely make this in a crockpot or other slow cooker if you'd wish. That way you can just throw all of the ingredients in and let the machine do the work. I think one of the best parts of the soup is the cheese mixture on top! You can really use any cheese you'd like but I love the combination of Cheddar, Parmesan, and Asiago. If you enjoy ricotta cheese this would be a great place to incorporate it here as well.
The pasta is specific
Casarecce is so fun because it's shaped a little like lasagna! It really gives the soup dimension and adds the perfect bit of texture.
Enjoy this Lasagna Soup!
