This is an easy lasagna soup recipe cooked in just one pot. No need to cook the meat in a skillet and the pasta in a large pot. They’ll all be combined together to make a seamless dinner.
There are many lasagna soups out there, but what makes this one unique is that it uses tomato juice, whereas most use tomato paste. I feel the tomato juice gives a better overall flavor to the soup.
Another difference is that I use ground beef in addition to the ground Italian pork sausage.
One of the bigger advantages is that this recipe is all cooked in one pot and most others do not.

Substitutions
In addition to all of the fresh herbs that can be replaced by dried herbs that I’ve listed in the recipe card, there are other substitutions you can use.
Vegetable broth can replace chicken broth, and if you are having trouble finding tomato juice, just mix together equal parts of smooth tomato sauce and water until you reach the desired quantity.
