The cold winter weather is almost here! Stay warm and cozy with a bowl of vegan Lasagna Soup.
I’ve had half a box of lasagna noodles sitting in my pantry for so long that I can’t remember buying them or why I only used half a box. I’ve been think that I should make half a pan of lasagna, or maybe make some lasagna roll-ups, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. A few weeks ago, I came across a recipe for lasagna soup in HGTV Magazine, and I knew that my half box of noodles was destined for it. Only it was made with meat and dairy products – making it a very unvegan recipe – so I made veganizing it a priority.
Vegan Lasagna Soup is Easy to Make
It wasn’t a difficult task. I used mushrooms instead of meat and vegetable stock instead of chicken stock, along with my cashew ricotta and walnut parmesan. It came together pretty quickly, and it was delicious.
This soup has all of the lasagna flavors I love, but it comes together much more quickly. If you don’t have time to make your own ricotta or parmesan, there are some great premade varieties to choose from now. I love Kite Hill’s almond-based ricotta and Follow Your Heart has delicious non-dairy parmesan.
This vegan lasagna soup is hearty enough to be a meal on its own. It’s great for lunch, and it’s also perfect for a light dinner. I like to serve it with roasted Brussels sprouts on the side.
