Ingredients 

Serving Size: 6-8 people

  • ½ lb lean ground beef

    • ½ lb spicy Italian sausage

    • 1 tbsp olive oil

    • 1 small yellow onion, chopped

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 2½ tbsp tomato paste

    • 1½ tbsp sugar

    • 1 cup heavy cream

    • 1 (24 oz) jar spicy vodka sauce (such as Carbone’s)

    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (or more for extra heat)

    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

    • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

    • ½ tsp dried oregano

    • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

    • 4 cups chicken broth

    • 9 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces

    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

    • ½ cup shredded Parmesan

    • Ricotta, for serving

    • Fresh basil

    • Extra Parmesan

Instructions 

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:
    In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. Brown the Meat:
    Add the ground beef and sausage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.

  3. Add the Spices:
    Stir in tomato paste, oregano, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes to caramelize the paste slightly.

  4. Add Liquids:
    Pour in the spicy vodka sauce and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a boil.

  5. Simmer with Noodles:
    Add broken lasagna noodles and heavy cream. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender (about 12–15 minutes).

  6. Finish the Soup:
    Stir in the sugar, parsley, and basil. Let the soup reduce for a few minutes. Once slightly thickened, add mozzarella and Parmesan and stir until melted and combined.

  7. Serve:
    Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta, extra Parmesan, and fresh basil.

If lasagna and a cozy bowl of soup had a spicy little love child, this would be it. This Spicy Vodka Lasagna Soup is everything you crave in a comfort meal: rich, creamy vodka sauce, hearty chunks of beef and sausage, melty cheese, and tender pasta swimming in a perfectly spiced broth. It’s got all the soul of classic lasagna, minus the layering and baking. Bonus? It comes together in one pot, so you can spend more time curled up on the couch and less time doing dishes. Top it with a dreamy dollop of ricotta and a shower of fresh basil, and you’ve got the ultimate weeknight hug in a bowl.
