Reader Review

“Finally made this recipe and it’s a definite KEEPER! My husband and I LOVED it! I actually used 1 lb of ground venison with 2-1/2 links of Hot Italian Sausage. I always use the same amount of combination of these two meats to make my spaghetti sauce as well. But SERIOUSLY, this soup is AWESOME!!”

Noodles for Your Lasagna Soup

Do I have to use gluten-free lasagna noodles? Nope, but nobody will know the difference if you do!

Really any noodles will work, but I love buying (gluten-free) lasagna noodles and simply breaking them into pieces by hand! Roughly about about 1.5 inch pieces and toss them right into the pot. Remember pasta will expand when they cook, hence having extra broth on hand!

My favorite gluten-free brand for this is Jovial!

Lasagna Soup Tips!

  • When reheating for later, or if the noodles soak up too much broth, add additional chicken broth to the pot as desired. If so, taste and adjust spices as desired!
  • My favorite way to make this is to use ground beef and spicy Italian sausage.
  • Yes, any pasta will work but for lasagna style, break-up full lasagna noodles!
  • You can totally omit the sausage! Or use less spicy, for kids!

Storing Lasagna Soup Recipe

Store your lasagna soup for 3-5 days in a container in the refrigerator.

While it’s best eaten the night of, but also great the next few days! Just add more broth and spices as needed when reheating as the noodles will soak up the broth.
