Do you want that delicious and comforting taste of lasagna but without having to do all the work, or wait for it to bake? Let me show you how to make lasagna soup and you can get all those fantastic flavours in a fraction of the time. It’s whole food plant-based, and you can easily make it gluten-free if you use brown rice noodles.
If you want to amp it up to the next level then make sure to whip up a batch of my Tofu Ricotta to put on top. You can make it while everything else is cooking without adding any time needed! Talk about a win-win! The nutritional information below doesn’t include the ricotta, but you can figure that out looking at the info in that recipe.
I’ve got a big list of vegetables below, but this recipe is super flexible. Feel free to add or swap out any to your liking. Zucchini would be lovely in this, and peppers too! I didn’t do it this time around, but I’ve been known to throw in a handful of hearty-green at the end like spinach or kale and let it wilt into the broth. You do you – it’s already packed with nutrients and is high in protein, fibre, iron and it has a crazy amount of vitamin D!
This is our new family favourite. It’s hearty and filling. Comfort food at it’s finest. Save yourself hours making regular lasagna with this healthy plant-based alternative that’s so quick you could make it on a weekday!
