One Pot Lasagne Soup
Um. What happened to summer? Wasn’t I just wearing a pair of flip flops a few weeks ago? I remember it being very warm and now there’s ………S N O W on the ground. NOOOOOOOO!!
Heck, I know I live in Canada and I have to suck it up but let’s get real here. The only good thing about this season is the excuse to cuddle up by the fire and make a boat load of COMFORT food.
With the temperatures dropping below zero, I’ve been on a major soup kick lately. It’s honestly the best excuse for the perfect meal.
ONE POT. Done.
This easy soup recipe tastes just like the real McCoy without all the fuss, muss or bajillion dishes it takes to make a classic lasagne ! Simply brown some ground meat and dump in all ingredients – you may never look back on what it was like to stand there layering and layering and layering over and over again. I don’t think I need to convince you any more. Just look. LOOK at this pot of loveliness.
It’s calling my name. Did hear that?
I’ve had this lasagne soup on my mind for a while now. In fact, I rushed out to the backyard prior to the “white stuff” hitting the ground. I grabbed as much as I could out of our garden before it had the chance to freeze. Smart, right?
I added fresh oregano to this recipe and MAN was it ever good. There really is nothing like fresh herbs in cooking.
The flavors in this glorious tomato-based soup are unreal. I even did my usual fridge foraging and added in a few surprise ingredients that I wouldn’t normally even think of putting in lasagne.
But really? What I think makes this soup over-the-top is the addition of the ricotta cheese.
By adding a nice big dollop of a ricotta and some freshly grated parmesan – the cheesy, melty, ooey, gooey and dreamy creamy factor is unabashedly amazing.
Serve this up with side side, a hunk of nice crusty bread and don’t be afraid to bring this pot right to your table. Make your life easier, one pot at a time.
