Meal Prep and Storage Tips

This lasagna soup is not just easy to make but also perfect for meal prep. You can prepare a large batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze individual portions for a quick meal later. To reheat, simply warm on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth to maintain that creamy consistency.

If you anticipate leftovers, consider undercooking the noodles slightly when you first make the soup. This way, they won't become mushy after being reheated. By planning ahead, you can enjoy this delightful lasagna soup on busy days, ensuring your family can still savor a wholesome homemade meal.
