This vegetarian lasagna soup is creamy, comforting and packed full of vegetables. It’s all made in one pot and is the perfect soup for a cold day.

As soon as I shared my lasagna soup recipe with turkey Italian sausage, I knew I wanted to create a vegetarian version. I wanted it to remind me of Stouffer’s vegetarian lasagna which is one of my guilty pleasures. (What?! It’s tasty. I can’t help it.)

The creamy base with the pasta and all those vegetables is just irresistible to me. This soup hits all those notes and it’s WAY better for you and easier to make.

Okay, maybe not easier to make (it’s a frozen lasagna, after all), but this vegetarian lasagna soup is quicker to make. It comes together in about 30 minutes and it’s full of fresh and flavorful vegetables. Mushrooms! Spinach! Bell peppers! Onions! Zucchini! Summer squash! Carrots!

Vegetarian lasagna soup is a vegetable lover’s dream come true. It’s warm, cozy, and comforting and the perfect thing to add to your soup repertoire. I used whole wheat noodles and half and half (instead of heavy cream) so it won’t break the calorie bank, either. My favorite part? The dollop of cheesy goodness on top – a mixture of parmesan, ricotta, and mozzarella. Thank goodness for cheese, ya know?

PS: If you want a couple more great ideas for vegetarian soup recipes, try slow cooker tomato basil soup with tortellini, copycat Panera squash soup, red lentil soup, or slow cooker minestrone with quinoa.

For a different twist on lasagna, try my pepperoni pizza lasagna rolls! All the yummy flavors of pizza and lasagna rolled up into tasty bundles. You can make this dish ahead and reheat it when you’re ready to serve it.

Used in this recipe:

whole wheat lasagna noodles

large heavy pot

ladle

no-salt added vegetable broth

Verdict: I loved this cozy vegetarian lasagna soup — a healthier take on that classic vegetarian lasagna I can’t get enough of.
Husband’s take: He’s automatically a little hesitant towards anything vegetarian but he loved this soup!
Changes I would make: None are necessary. If you don’t have all the vegetables, that’s alright. It will survive without one or two of them, or you could substitute other favorites like broccoli or green bell peppers.
Difficulty: Easy!
