The best part about this is the cheese! That’s what really makes it different and good. However, it’s not without flaws. It lacked the tomato taste of a robust lasagna. I tweaked it and tripled the amount of tomatoes so I did get it to taste somewhat like a lasagna, but it could have benefited from tomato sauce or some tomato paste. Otherwise, it’s more like a vegetable soup with Italian sausage. Personally, I did not care for all of the carrots and “optional” mushrooms. The pasta took over twice as long to cook, but I used bow tie so that may have been the difference. As with all soups, it’s better the second day. Day one it was watery like a soup. Day two, more stew like. I prefer stew!

Photo: Taken on day two so a stew like appearance. For presentation, I topped with mozzarella and put under the broiler to melt. Served with homemade garlic croutons.

Oh my gosh, that looks good, DIZ! Nice touch with the garlic croutons - yum! We like soups, stews, and chili to be thick enough that you almost need a fork to eat them.

Gorgeous photo! I love the sound of this as I love stewed tomatoes. Good suggestion to use tomato paste for the deeper tomato flavor. :)

Well, "Lasagna Soup" caught my attention but I wouldn't care for it with carrots and mushrooms and such in it. Your picture is gorgeous though DIZ3.

I agree tomato sauce would have made this more "lasagna" like for sure. I'm glad it ended up working out on the second day, I agree, soup is so much better leftover :) :) Beautiful picture!!

I want to make this for dinner tonight so I looked up Cuisine at Home magazine and found their original recipe. It includes a can of tomato sauce! It doesn't say what size on the link below, but I googled other recipes for Cuisine at Home-Lasagna Soup and they said to use a 10 3/4 oz can.

Cosmicmother, I saw that recipe on here, too. Lasagna Soup I didn't go with it because I didn't have any provolone cheese and I didn't want to use that much spinach. In hindsight, it would have been a better choice. If you make it, snap a photo and review it!

Beautiful Photo DlZ!! I so agree about a thicker soup, so much better.

This soup is absolutely delish! I made it with a 20 oz can of basil tomato sauce, and 2 cups of bow tie pasta because of the extra sauce. I didn't use the mushrooms, instead I used 2 cups of diced zucchini. It was very thick and hearty, I'll definitely make it that way again, loved it! :) (pic on recipe page Lasagna Soup)

So glad you liked this with the sauce Shona! Love your picture as well, great job :)

Bren, I save every recipe that even looks remotely good, it's an addiction lol!

Thanks, Bren! If you give it a try, be sure to follow Shona's advice with the tomato sauce because it really needs more tomato. I ate the rest last night for dinner and it did not disappoint. Very good!

Cosmicmother, nice photo! Glad to hear the additional tomato sauce helped. Will note that for the future. It's nice to have "fun" soup recipes on hand that break from the traditional norms. I also like your zucchini idea. Would much prefer that over the mushrooms!

There's another recipe on here for the same soup as well, I almost added my photo here Lasagna Soup. But since I used Farfelle and zucchini etc ( I can't seem to follow a recipe lately, lol) I didn't want to add it there.
I can also see adding beef stock to this soup, to make it a little more beefy and hearty, especially if your leaving out the mushrooms:)

the soup sounds GREAT! I wonder if Manella's homemade marinara would be the best fix and nix the tomatoes unless you want to add fresh diced at the end as a condiment?
