Easy Gluten Free Lasagna Soup (Dairy-Free)

This easy Gluten Free Lasagna Soup gives you all of the comforting flavors of lasagna without actually having to make a lasagna. It’s hearty, dairy free, made in one pot and has been a family favorite in our house for years.

I love lasagna, but let’s be honest, sometimes I do not have the time or energy to layer noodles, sauce and everything else that goes into making one. This is my lazy lasagna solution.

Everything cooks together in one pot with ground beef, bell peppers, tomato sauce, herbs and broken gluten-free lasagna noodles. My kids went crazy for this soup when I first made it, and it quickly became one of those easy weeknight dinners I could count on everyone eating.

Why You’ll Love This Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

There are a few reasons this recipe has stayed in our dinner rotation for so long.

• It’s gluten free, dairy free and corn free.
• Everything cooks in one pot.
• It’s hearty enough to serve as a complete dinner.
• You get the flavors of lasagna without all of the work of actually making lasagna.
• My kids love it, which automatically gives a dinner extra points around here.
• You don’t have to use actual lasagna noodles. If you can’t find them, another gluten-free pasta works too.

Add some bread and a salad if you’re feeding a crowd, or serve it on its own for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients for Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

You only need simple ingredients to make this one pot lasagna soup.

Avocado oil: You’ll use this to sauté the vegetables.

Onion, garlic and bell peppers: I use one medium onion along with red and orange bell peppers.

Ground beef: This recipe uses 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef.

Herbs and seasonings: Basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, parsley, sea salt, pepper and granulated garlic give the soup its flavor.

Beef broth: You’ll need 4 cups.

Tomato sauce and tomato paste: These create the tomato base for the soup.

Gluten-free lasagna noodles: Break the noodles into pieces before adding them to the soup. I use 2 1/2 cups.

For the lasagna noodles, you can use your favorite gluten-free lasagna. Banza and Jovial are two of my favorites. If you can’t find gluten-free lasagna noodles, you can also use another gluten-free pasta.

How to Make Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

1. Sauté the vegetables

Add the avocado oil, garlic, onion and bell peppers to a Dutch oven or stock pot.

Heat over medium heat and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.

2. Brown the ground beef

Add the ground beef.

Season it with the basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, parsley, sea salt, pepper and granulated garlic.

3. Add the broth and tomatoes

Once the beef is mostly browned, add the tomato sauce, tomato paste and beef broth.

Stir everything together and bring the soup to a boil. Increase the heat slightly if needed.

4. Add the gluten-free pasta

Once you have a light boil, add the broken gluten-free lasagna pieces.

Cook for about 10 minutes, checking the pasta for doneness. Different gluten-free pastas can cook at different rates, so use tender noodles as your final guide.

5. Serve

Serve topped with Parmesan or vegan Parmesan, if desired.

That’s it. You get a hearty bowl of lasagna soup without spending your evening assembling an actual lasagna.

Can I Make Lasagna Soup Without Lasagna Noodles?

Yes. You can use another gluten-free pasta if you can’t find gluten-free lasagna noodles.

I’ve even included this recipe in my Trader Joe’s gluten-free meal plan using short gluten-free pasta such as elbow, fusilli or penne.

Is Lasagna Soup Gluten Free?

This version is! The important part is using gluten-free pasta and making sure the other ingredients you’re using meet your dietary needs.

I originally created this recipe to work for our family’s food restrictions, so this lasagna soup is gluten free, dairy free and corn free.

Is This Lasagna Soup Dairy Free?

Yes. The soup itself is dairy free.

You can serve it with vegan Parmesan if you want that cheesy finish while keeping the recipe dairy free. If you don’t need to avoid dairy, Parmesan can be used instead.

What Can I Serve With Lasagna Soup?

This is hearty enough to be dinner on its own, which is usually exactly what I’m looking for on a busy weeknight.

If you’re serving guests or want to make it a bigger meal, add some gluten-free bread.

If easy, hearty soups are your thing too, here are a few more of my favorites:

• Whole30 Hamburger Soup
• Vegetable Soup
• Easy Chicken and Rice Soup
• Chicken Tortilla Soup

Soup is one of my favorite ways to get an easy dinner on the table, especially when I know it’s something my whole family will actually eat.
