You musn’t skip the ricotta cheese topping, it really sends this soup over the top and makes it spoon lickin’ good. I add sugar to most of my tomato sauce recipes to stomp out the bitterness. You can omit it if you like. Or just taste your sauce as your cooking and adjust accordingly.

  Hi! I’m doing two pots myself right now..one with pork sausage and one with Beyond “sausage” (should be in the meat case with the other Impossible or Beyond products. My local Walmart carries it).

This is one of our favorite soups! My husband is NOT a fan of soup, at least he has told me several times. But this he has asked me for at least 6 times now! I love that it’s so easy! I love that it’s filling! Best part is the cheese scoop on top! I could eat that alone and be a happy girl! My picky eater 10 year old even loves this soup… and he won’t touch spaghetti 🤣

Hi I Made Your One Pot Lasagna Soup And It Was Amazing!! I Switched Out The Italian Sausage For Impossible Sausage And The Chicken Broth For Vegetable Broth To Make It Vegetarian, Because I Can’t Digest Any Meats, But I Am Not A Vegan! My Husband And I Loved This Recipe!!
I Regularly Switch Out The Meats In Recipes For Either Morningstar Farms Or Gardein Or Impossible Or Beyond Meatless Choices!! I Have Never Had A Problem With Taste Because These Replacement Choices All Taste Great Alone Too!! Thanks Again Stella For Another Great Recipe!!!
