Ever since I posted my Hearty Tuscan Soup recipe, I have been wanting to make a white lasagna soup! I feel like it’s such a similar concept and I definitely wish I did it sooner, because this soup is so comforting and delicious. This White Lasagna Soup comes together in a single pot, makes absolutely fantastic leftovers, and is for sure a perfect meal for family dinner night or hosting friends! It’s filled with flavorful italian sausage and ground beef, with extra pops of flavor from sun-dried tomatoes, golden onion, garlic, tender lasagna noodles, and a broth made creamy by ricotta and freshly grated parmesan cheese. This recipe fills your house with the most wonderful scent that will make everyone look forward to dinner!

Nutritional benefits of this recipe
- Broth is rich in glutamine, collagen, and gelatin and is a superfood for the gut, immune system, skin, hair, nails, and more.
- Garlic and onion are naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial and are a great defense for the immune system.
- Ground beef and ground sausage are rich in iron, protein, vitamin b12, and more. It makes this soup satiating and filling.
- For the healthiest noodles, I recommend buying Italian imported noodles that are organic. The regulations for wheat are much more strict in Italy, so the quality is much better. Nowadays, you can find imported noodles from Italy in most grocery stores.
- For the healthiest dairy, I always recommend buying grass-fed. Better yet, if you can support a local farm that has grass-fed cows and dairy products, then do that!
Ingredients for White Lasagna Soup
Yellow onion – or a couple large shallots
Garlic
Italian sausage – I buy from Mulay’s because it’s they use healthy pork and minimal ingredients with no preservatives or sugar added.
Ground beef
Lasagna noodles (broken up into bite-sized pieces) – or bow-tie noodles would be adorable!
Broth
Ricotta cheese
Parmesan cheese
Spinach
Spices: Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes
How to make White Lasagna Soup
- Preheat a large pot (5 quarts or bigger) to medium-high heat. Add a couple tablespoons of avocado oil or grass-fed butter and the diced shallots to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the shallots are browned and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté another minute.
- Add the ground italian sausage and ground beef into the pot and cook a few minutes. Incorporate the italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour the broth into the pot, turn the heat to high, and bring to a light boil. Once boiling, add the broken lasagna pieces (or bow-tie pasta) and the spinach, and cook until the pasta is slightly al-dente (my lasagna noodles took 4-5 minutes, but bow-tie pasta or other thicker pasta pieces would likely be longer). It’ll continue cooking as the soup cools down.
- Remove from the heat and incorporating the ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese.
- To serve: Put soup into a bowl and top with diced chives and fresh grated parmesan. Serve with a side salad, fresh baked sourdough, etc.
Modifications and variations
- Add diced mushrooms in with the onion for extra flavor.
- Use kale instead of spinach if that’s what you prefer.
- Substitute diced chicken in place of the ground sausage and beef, and add another couple teaspoons of italian seasoning if doing this.
- Use bow-tie noodles or any other noodles in place of the lasagna noodles. Bow-tie would be so cute in this recipe!
