Notes
*Use ground chicken or turkey for a healthier alternative or you can also use all ground beef
*Freezing instructions: Freeze lasagna soup without the cheese
Place soup in a freezer safe container and freeze for 2-3 months
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat slowly on the stovetop for best flavor
*Vegetarian Lasagna Soup: Skip sausage and ground beef and add more chopped vegetables cooking with onion and garlic
I recommend zucchini mushrooms and/or yellow squash
*This is great for meal prep and will last in the fridge for up to 5 days
You can also freeze this soup once cooled
Add it to a freezer friendly container and freeze for up to 3 months
