It’s perfect for those chilly evenings when you’re craving something hearty and comforting, yet easy to prepare. If you’re a lasagna lover, you’ll also want to check out my healthy lasagna recipe for a lighter take on the traditional dish—it’s just as delicious and comforting!
Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free cheese alternatives for the topping and and either skip the cottage cheese or use a dairy-free alternative. Gluten-Free: Replace traditional lasagna noodles with gluten-free lasagna noodles if needed. I haven’t tried this, but I would assume they’d cook just fine in the broth. Vegetarian: Swap out the Italian sausage for a plant-based alternative or simply skip the meet and add more vegetables like mushrooms and/or zucchini.
Bread on the side: Nothing pairs with soup quite like a slice of warm bread. Try it with some homemade sourdough bread or garlic knots to scoop up every last bite. Salad pairing: Lighten things up with a simple salad. My kale caesar salad, arugula salad, or easy cucumber salad would be a great addition to keep the meal balanced while adding a fresh crunch. Veggie boost: For an extra pop of flavor, add some extra veggies to the side like air fryer brussels sprouts or roasted asparagus for a little extra bite and variety.
