Ingredients

Scale

Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Tomato Base and Broth

  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Protein and Pasta

  • 1 cup red lentils (or 1 cup plant-based ground “meat”)
  • 4–5 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces

Greens and Flavorings

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes, to build the flavor base of the soup.
  2. Add the tomatoes and broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and vegetable broth. Stir gently to combine and prepare the soup base.
  3. Incorporate lentils and herbs: Stir in the red lentils along with dried basil, oregano, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the lentils to absorb the flavors and begin softening.
  4. Break and add noodles: Snap the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot once the lentils start to soften. Continue simmering to cook the noodles thoroughly, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Add greens and seasoning: In the final 3-5 minutes of cooking, toss in fresh spinach or kale. Season with salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast to enhance the classic lasagna flavor profile.
  6. Simmer and serve: Allow the soup to simmer gently until noodles are tender and flavors meld together. Serve hot, garnished as desired for an ultimate comforting experience.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free noodles to make this soup allergy-friendly without sacrificing taste.
  • Don’t skip nutritional yeast—it provides a cheesy, umami flavor essential to vegan lasagna.
  • Simmer gently after adding noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or thyme can enhance the aroma and flavor if available.
  • This soup tastes even better the next day after flavors have melded.
