You can easily switch up this recipe by using different meats, like ground beef or sausage. Vegetarian options like lentils or chickpeas also work well if you prefer a meatless version.

FAQs

Can I use whole lasagna noodles instead of broken pieces?
Yes, you can use whole noodles, but you will need to cook them separately and then add them to the soup before serving.

Is it possible to make this soup in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Brown the meat first, then add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Can I use store-bought marinara sauce instead of crushed tomatoes?
Yes, you can use marinara sauce. Just reduce the salt and seasonings to taste, as jarred sauces can be saltier.

Enjoy your High Protein Lasagna Soup, a delicious meal that’s easy to make and packed with flavor!
