Tips for the Best Lasagna Soup
- Pasta Options: If you don’t have lasagna noodles, any short pasta like penne or rotini works well.
- Make It Creamier: Stir in a splash of heavy cream for an extra luxurious texture.
- Meal Prep: Keep the soup and pasta separate if making ahead to prevent the noodles from soaking up too much broth.
