We love this soup not just for its incredible flavor but also for how nourishing it is. Here’s why this recipe is a win for your health:

Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation.
Ground turkey or beef (your choice!) adds high-quality protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied. You can also use plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option.

Ingredients for Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this cozy, gluten free lasagna soup. It’s simple, fresh, and easy to customize to your preferences.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey (or beef, or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option)
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 can (14 ounces) tomato sauce
4 cups gluten-free chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
8 ounces gluten-free lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Dairy-free ricotta or mozzarella-style cheese (optional, for serving)

You’ll also need a large soup pot and a ladle for serving.

How to Make Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

This recipe comes together in just a few simple steps, making it perfect for both busy weeknights and cozy weekends. Let’s get started!

1. Brown the meat

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey (or your choice of protein) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. This should take about 5–7 minutes.

2. Sauté the aromatics

Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened. Stir in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, if using, for a boost of flavor.

3. Build the soup base

Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.

4. Cook the noodles

Once the soup is boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

5. Add the spinach

Stir in the chopped spinach during the last minute of cooking. It will wilt quickly and add a beautiful pop of green to your soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve and enjoy

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of dairy free ricotta or a sprinkle of shredded dairy free cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

Here are a few tips from our kitchen to help you make the best lasagna soup every time:

Use sturdy gluten free lasagna noodles that hold up well in soup, like brown rice or corn-based varieties. Avoid overcooking them to keep them from becoming mushy.
If you’re making this ahead of time, cook the noodles separately and add them just before serving to maintain their texture.
To create a creamier soup, stir in a splash of unsweetened almond or oat milk before serving.
For even more veggie power, add diced zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers along with the onions.

Variations, Leftovers, and Storage

This recipe is super versatile and perfect for meal prep. Here’s how to customize and store it:

Swap the ground turkey for ground chicken, beef, or plant-based crumbles to suit your dietary needs.
For a dairy free twist, use your favorite plant-based cheeses or skip the cheese altogether—it’s just as delicious!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the soup thickens.
This soup also freezes well! Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Yes! To keep the noodles from getting too soft, cook them separately and add them to the soup when reheating.

Absolutely! Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and swap the ground turkey for plant-based crumbles or extra veggies.
