🍲 Total Time: 50 mins

👩‍🍳 Servings: 6

🥣 Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 cup plant-based ground “meat” (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

🧀 For Vegan Ricotta:

1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 2+ hours)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup water (as needed for blending)

🍲 Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Veggies

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5–6 minutes.

Step 2: Add Flavor Base

Stir in tomato paste, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Let it cook for 1 minute to release its aroma.

Step 3: Add Tomatoes & Broth

Pour in crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil.

Step 4: Add Pasta & Simmer

Add broken lasagna noodles and vegan “meat,” if using. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Step 5: Prepare Vegan Ricotta

In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water gradually to reach your desired consistency.

Step 6: Combine & Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous dollop of vegan ricotta. Sprinkle with fresh basil for the perfect finish.

💡 Tips for Perfect Vegan Lasagna Soup

🍝 Use short pasta shapes like broken lasagna sheets or mafaldine for that lasagna texture.
🌿 Add a handful of fresh spinach at the end for extra greens.
🧀 No cashews? Use store-bought vegan ricotta or tofu ricotta.
🧊 This soup freezes beautifully — perfect for meal prep!
