Lasanga Soup noodles cooking tips
- You can use any type of noodle for this recipe, but our favorite is traditional lasagna noodles, which we break into small pieces. Other great options are ziti or bow tie pasta.
- Don’t cook the noodles all the way or else they’ll become mushy when serving. Only cook the noodles until al dente.
- If desired, you can also cook the noodles separetely and then add them right before serving.
Can you freeze lasagna soup?
Yes, you can freeze lasagna soup, but it’s a little more cumbersome than other soup recipes. Noodles tend to separate when frozen and reheated, which makes them mushy. So, it’s best to freeze the soup and noodles in separate containers. When it’s time to thaw, let the pasta and soup thaw overnight in the refrigerator prior to preparing it for the next meal. Add cheese when serving.
Can you refrigerate and reheat?
Absolutely! Leftover Lasagna Soup is amazing. You can refrigerate for up to 4 nights. When it’s time to eat, simply reheat in the microwave or on a stovetop as normal. You may need to mix in a little more chicken broth (or in a pinch you can use a little water if you don’t have broth) because the noodles can soak up some of the liquid when refrigerated.
How to make lasagna soup in crock pot?
It is possible to make this soup in a crock pot. Here’s how:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks with a wooden spoon. Add the onion, green bell peppers and garlic and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in all other ingredients to crockpot except for the noodles and cheese.
- Cover and set slow cooker to low 8 hours or high 4 hours.
- Add pasta to the crockpot in the final 30 minutes. Or, you can also cook pasta to al dente on the stovetop. Drain water from noodles fully, and add noodles to soup prior to serving.
- Serve in individual bowls with mozzarella cheese as a topping.
