Easy Lasagna Soup

It’s totally not soup season, I get it. Unless you’re on the east coast (yikes! that snow!). But this Lasagna Soup has been in my “ready to post folder” just staring at me because I had a craving for it two weeks ago and I just can’t wait to post it later in the year when the weather cools off.

Even if I feel like its sweltering hot, I would stand in front of an open freezer door just to want to eat this soup. It is that good.

Plus, we’re talking cheese and pasta goodness for only 4 smart points per serving. I used to think that could only happen with canned soups I really didn’t want to eat.

How to make Healthy Lasagna Soup:

• Use whole wheat lasagna noodles here that we break apart before cooking.
• Swap out the ground beef for turkey and add in plenty of seasonings like in thisSpaghetti Squash with Meat Saucerecipe.
• Use light mozzarella cheese. I am a TOTAL addict to the Trader Joe’s Lite Mozzarella cheese. It’s so low in points and it melts better than full fat! I even wrote a recipe using it 2 years ago on my main blog: WW Pepperoni Pizza. You can see my undying affection for it there, it is still going strong.
• Tomato paste helps to pump up that rich tomato flavor. If you want it even richer, brown it in a teaspoon or two of olive oil before adding it to the pot. This makes the flavors pop.
• Keep the liquids to a minimum. The richer the liquid in the soup is the more satiating it will feel. So even if your serving is ¼ cup less because of less broth/stock, you’ll feel it is heartier if it is thicker.
• Add a bit of spice. If you feel like soups tend to be bland pump up the spices. More fennel seeds, more crushed red pepper, more herbs.

What to serve with Lasagna Soup?

A nice easy salad is an obvious choice for this soup, another good option would be to bulk up the soup with additional ingredients including possible roasted bell peppers which would add a lot of flavor. Garlic bread or garlic knots(Gina’s recipe is fantastic!) would also be delicious!

Can you freeze this soup? Yes, you can, but I suggest adding broth when gently warming and not adding any cheese before the reheating. I only add cheese just before serving so it doesn’t get lost in the soup.

Can you make this in the slow cooker? Yes, you can, just brown the turkey first, add the ingredients (except the cheeses) into the slow cooker and cook on low for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Once the pasta is cooked through you can add to bowls, add cheese and serve.

We used ground turkey in this recipe, but you can certainly use ground chicken. Ground beef is also an obvious choice but if you do use it, choose 93% lean for the best points values.
