Tips for Customization

While this Lasagna Soup recipe is delicious as is, feel free to customize it to suit your taste preferences or dietary restrictions. For a lighter version, consider substituting ground turkey or chicken for the Italian sausage. Alternatively, you can add extra vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.

If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a splash of balsamic vinegar for a touch of acidity. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility, allowing you to make it uniquely your own while enjoying the comfort of a traditional dish.

Pairing Suggestions

To complement your Lasagna Soup, consider serving it with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad. A simple Caesar salad or a Mediterranean chickpea salad can bring a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the soup.

For beverage pairing, a glass of Chianti or a light-bodied red wine works wonderfully, enhancing the Italian experience. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, try sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or a homemade Italian soda for a fizzy treat.

Storing and Freezing

Lasagna Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Make sure to let it cool completely before sealing the container to maintain its freshness. When reheating, adding a splash of broth can help return the soup to its original consistency.

If you want to make a big batch, it freezes beautifully! Allow the soup to cool, then portion it into freezer-safe containers. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove, enjoying the comforting flavors all over again.
