This creamy Mexican lasagna soup is so incredibly delicious! It has all of the flavors of a typical lasagna, but in soup form. The mixture of cheeses gives it the perfect creamy consistency. This creamy Mexican lasagna soup is warming, comforting, and the perfect soup for chilly January nights!
What makes this creamy Mexican Lasagna Soup healthy?
I love “made from scratch” soups. There is just something so nourishing about seeing every single ingredient go into the soup. I also love that most of the flavor from this soup comes from the veggies! Onions, red bell peppers, and celery are a flavorful trio.
The most flavorful ingredient is definitely the spicy sausage. I love to cook the spicy sausage separately so that I can drain all of the grease.
I use chicken bone broth in this soup. Feel free to use whatever kind of bone broth is your favorite. I am sure it would be delicious with beef bone broth, although I have not tested that combination yet. Let me know if you do!
If you want to make this soup gluten free, make sure to use gluten free lasagna noodles! Jovial is a great gluten free pasta!
Helpful Tips
- If you love pasta, like me, then you should add 10-12 lasagna noodles. If you are not a huge fan of pasta, then I suggest adding 8-10. I always add 10 lasagna noodles, and that is more than enough for me!
- Cooking the lasagna noodles in a separate pot as the soup is a must! They will soak up too much liquid if you cook them in the same pot.
- Only cook the noodles until they are al dente. You want them to be a little firm when you put them in the soup. They will continue to cook a little bit once they are in the soup.
- I love to top this soup with shaved parmesan cheese. The more the merrier!
