Lasagna Soup

Lasagna soup is a hearty, deconstructed version of the classic Italian-American baked pasta dish, transformed into a comforting one-pot meal. It typically features a rich, tomato-based broth with ground meat (like beef or sausage), broken lasagna noodles, and often includes creamy elements like ricotta or mozzarella cheese. This dish is a popular fusion creation, blending Italian flavors with the convenience of American soup-making.
