What Makes This Lasagna Soup Healthy?
Unlike traditional lasagna, this soup packs in fiber-rich red lentils that help support digestive health, steady energy levels, and satiety. The lentils blend beautifully into the broth as they cook, creating a rich and creamy texture without any dairy.
The tomatoes provide antioxidants such as lycopene, while the garlic and onions add flavor and beneficial plant compounds. Combined with protein-rich plant-based chorizo, this soup is both nourishing and satisfying.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Large onion
- Garlic cloves
- Vegetable broth
- Canned diced tomatoes

Tips for Success
- Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces before adding them to the pot.

- For extra creaminess, stir in a spoonful of plant-based ricotta before serving.
