Lasagna soup brings all the flavors lasagna into a warm and hearty bowl of soup.
The trick lies in adding more broth and tomato juice while reducing the amount of pasta.
Gone are the heavy béchamel sauce and copious amounts of Parmesan cheese. To make this recipe Weight Watchers friendly, we've made a few small modifications. We've added a modest amount of ground beef and pasta, while replacing the traditional béchamel sauce with a topping of cottage cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped fresh parsley. The texture and flavor are so comforting that you won't tire of it.

Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and tender.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, crumbled cottage cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
Once the noodles are cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
To serve, ladle the Lasagna Soup into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of the cheese and parsley topping.

Variations and Substitutions
- One of my favorite variations is to add some dried or fresh basil or a dollop of pesto sauce to give it an Italian flair.
- To boost the vegetable content, consider adding diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers to the soup.
- Two other versions worth trying include using Palmini noodles instead of pasta for a gluten-free option and substituting ground turkey for beef, resulting in a delightful dish with just 2 Weight Watchers points.
Tips and Tricks for making Lasagna Soup
- For added depth of flavor, sauté the onions and garlic until golden brown before adding the other ingredients.
- Opt for lean meat and season it with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs or oregano for enhanced flavor.
- Use unsweetened tomato juice or pasta sauce. If you feel it needs a touch of sweetness, add a dash of Stevia.
- Cook the pasta until slightly overdone to help thicken the soup slightly.
- For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup before serving, then stir it back into the pot. This creates a velvety consistency without adding extra calories. When freezing, store the soup in an airtight container and thaw it in the microwave.
