Hello my friends. This week’s recipe is our monthly recipe collaboration with Flora Fine Foods. As you know, they are an importer of Italian food in the Florida region. But you also can get their Italian products online through their website and Amazon. For this easy one-pot lasagna soup recipe, I’m using their lasagnetti homestyle pasta and San Marzano D.O.P. Tomatoes. San Marzano is my favorite tomato to use in my recipes, and last January, I used them in the recipe Jumbo Brisket Meatballs in San Marzano Tomato Sauce. Those meatballs are super delicious.

When I was working on this recipe, I found a ton of lasagna soup recipes, and in most of those recipes, they are using lasagna sheets. The instructions are to break the sheets into smaller pieces and cook the pasta in a separate pot.

Two Advantages of this Easy One-pot Lasagna Soup

This easy one-pot lasagna soup has two advantages:

First, everything is cooked in a one-pot
You don’t need to use lasagna sheets and break them up. Instead, you’ll be using the Flora product lasagnetti homestyle pasta. They are a tiny lasagna piece that you can use for hot recipes with marinara sauce, for soups, and cold salads.

In the following instructions, you will see that this is the ultimate one-pot meal with no need to get another pot dirty boiling the pasta. Also, when you cook the lasagnetti with the soup from the beginning, the starch will help to thickness the soup. This hearty, thick soup is filling, comforting, and cheesy with a beefy flavor.

#1. In a large pot, add a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and brown the ground beef with a teaspoon of salt & pepper. Cook for three or four minutes or until the meat is all brown with no pink parts. Remove the browned beef and place it on a lined plate with a paper towel to soak all the fat. Leave the meat on the plate until you are ready to add it back into the soup. Also, drain the fat from the pot.

#2. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the veggies with one teaspoon of salt & pepper for about 4 minutes or until they become soft, then add the garlic for 30 seconds. Now, add oregano, thyme, smoked red pepper flakes, and tomato paste. Sauté for a few seconds to combine.

Cooking Tips:

Season the soup at each step with salt and pepper. At the end of the cooking process, taste and add more seasoning if needed. I learned this tip from one of my chef idols Giada De Laurentiis.
Drain the fat from the ground beef. When I was testing this recipe the first time, I didn’t drain the fat from the pot or from the meat. The final result was a greasy soup. I highly recommend draining the excess fat.
If the soup gets too thick, add an extra cup of chicken stock at the end of the cooking process. Remember that after cooling down, the liquid will reduce.
Although I recommend lasagnetti homestyle pasta for this soup, you can use any type of pasta that is in your pantry.
