Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 16 ounces vegan ground beef (such as Beyond Meat)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 7 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta and Vegetables

  • 9 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups baby spinach, sliced or left whole

Toppings

  • 1 recipe vegan ricotta (or storebought, e.g., Kite Hill)
  • Vegan mozzarella shreds, as desired
  • Vegan parmesan cheese, as desired
  • Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the base: In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced onion and vegan ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the vegan beef into crumbles, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to release its aroma without burning.
  3. Combine sauces and seasonings: Add the marinara sauce, tomato paste, vegetable broth, red chili flakes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  4. Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and bring the soup to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Add spinach and season: Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until it wilts, about 2 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of vegan ricotta, a sprinkle of vegan mozzarella shreds, and vegan parmesan cheese if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve immediately. Enjoy your hearty, comforting vegan lasagna soup!

Notes

  • Breaking the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces makes the soup easier to eat and distributes pasta evenly.
  • You can substitute storebought vegan ricotta if you prefer convenience.
  • Adjust the red chili flakes to your preferred spice level or omit if sensitive to heat.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free lasagna noodles.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently on the stovetop or in a microwave.
