Description

Cozy up with this hearty One-Pot Lasagna Soup, a comforting bowl of rich tomato broth, savory ground beef, and cheesy cottage cheese swirls. Perfect for busy weeknights, this easy recipe brings all the classic flavors of lasagna into a quick soup that feeds the whole family. Packed with protein, veggies, and cheesy goodness, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s both satisfying and simple to make.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 lb lean ground beef 93/7
  • 1 23.5oz jar marinara sauce
  • 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 32oz container beef bone broth (I love Kettle & Fire, you can also use beef broth (it will have slightly less protein))
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese (I love Good Culture, you can also use whole milk cottage cheese!)
  • 6 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces (I used Mueller brand)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  2. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sprinkle in onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef bone broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cottage cheese until swirled through the soup. Add the broken lasagna noodles and continue to simmer until noodles are tender and the soup thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra cheese or fresh herbs.

Notes

Tip: For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and use plant‑based ground “meat” and vegetable broth. You can swap cottage cheese for ricotta or a dairy‑free alternative. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
