Ingredients

• Lean ground beef or turkey: Plenty of protein and flavor A good quality fresh mince will yield the best texture
• Olive oil: Choose extra-virgin for depth of flavor

• Celery stalks: Delicate flavor that rounds out the base Select firm green stalks with no wilting
• Canned diced tomatoes: Tangy richness Look for Italian or San Marzano brands for the best flavor

• Gluten-free lasagne sheets: Broken into pieces for that rustic soup appearance Check ingredients to ensure a proper bite
• Ricotta cheese: Creamy element Choose a smooth, high-quality ricotta
• Grated Parmesan cheese: Salty, nutty topping and flavor boost Buy a wedge and grate it yourself if possible

I love how the truffle oil elevates the whole experience, the aroma transports you straight to a trattoria. One time, my mom surprised me and tossed in extra fresh herbs from her garden, it turned this already cozy bowl into an absolute showstopper we all talk about to this day.

Storage Tips

Let leftovers cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If the soup thickens by the next day, add a splash of broth or water when reheating on the stove. The gooey cheese will melt fresh every time.

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap ground beef with turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based mince to fit everyone’s diet. Use cottage cheese instead of ricotta for a lighter version. If you want to boost the vegetable content, chopped spinach or zucchini blend right in with the sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a crunchy green salad tossed in vinaigrette to balance the soup’s richness. Gluten-free garlic bread or a plate of roasted vegetables make perfect partners for a cozy meal. For a casual gathering, let friends add extra Parmesan or truffle oil themselves.

Cultural and Historical Context

Lasagne as a dish dates back to the Middle Ages in Italy, though the soup version is a playful and modern twist. Deconstructed lasagne began popping up in Italian-American kitchens as a way to enjoy all the best parts of the classic without the fuss of layering and baking.

Seasonal Adaptations

Add chopped spinach in spring for freshness Add winter squash for half the carrot for a fall twist Use fresh basil and tomatoes in summer for brighter flavor

Success Stories

Friends with celiac have told me this soup finally lets them indulge in lasagne flavors without compromise. One reader shared she made a huge batch for a new mom and came home with an empty pot and lots of recipe requests.

Freezer Meal Conversion

Ladle cooled soup into freezer-safe containers, leaving room for expansion. Freeze up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat gently and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
