Store lasagna soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Make-Ahead Instructions: Prepare the soup through step 4, but do not add the noodles. Let the soup cool and store it in the fridge. When you're ready to serve, pick up at step 5 by bringing the soup to a boil, then add the noodles and cook until tender. Finish by topping with the cheese mixture.
Freezing Instructions: To freeze, omit the cheese and transfer the cooled soup to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stovetop. For best texture, you may want to cook the noodles fresh when serving—see make-ahead directions.
Vegetarian Lasagna Soup: Skip the sausage and ground beef, and add extra chopped vegetables in step 3 along with the onion and garlic. Great options include zucchini, mushrooms, and yellow squash.
Vegan Lasagna Soup: Omit the meat as with the vegetarian version, and include your choice of chopped vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, and yellow squash. Replace the cheese with a plant-based alternative like homemade cashew ricotta.
Pasta Substitutions: You can swap the broken lasagna noodles for any type of pasta you prefer.
