Three Unique Soup Recipes to Try This Soup Season

It’s fall, which means it’s officially soup season. You can never go wrong with a good chicken noodle or broccoli cheddar soup but don’t be afraid to branch out and experiment with some non-traditional soup recipes. This season, try out these soups that are both unique and delicious.

Lasagna Soup

Ingredients:

–       1 yellow onion, diced

–       3 cloves garlic, minced (or to taste)

–       1 pound ground beef

–       1 tbsp. olive oil

–       2 tbsp. tomato paste

–       1 box lasagna noodles

–       24 oz. marinara sauce

–       10 oz. ricotta cheese

–       1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

–       ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

–       7 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, cook the ground beef until finished. 
  2. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Remove the meat and, in the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until fragrant, then add the garlic. Be sure not to add the garlic too early, or it could burn. 
  3. Mix in the tomato paste, marinara sauce and broth. At this step, season to taste with any of the following: parsley, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes for spice. 
  4. Add the meat back to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. 
  5. Break up your lasagna noodles and cook them according to the packaging. 
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the three cheeses and add a scoop of the topping to each bowl of soup. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with some fresh basil.
