Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving your lasagna soup, consider pairing it with a slice of crusty garlic bread or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. The bread is perfect for dipping into the cheese-laden broth, while a salad can offer a refreshing crunch that balances the heartiness of the soup. You can also try serving it with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat, or with a dollop of ricotta for added creaminess.

For a festive touch, serve the soup in individual bread bowls. The warm, crusty bread adds another layer of flavor while providing an edible serving vessel. This presentation is great for parties or gatherings and can really impress your guests, making your meal feel extra special.

Storing Leftovers

If you're lucky enough to have leftovers, storing your lasagna soup on the fridge is a breeze. Allow the soup to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. Always remember to reheat it gently on the stove or microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

Should you choose to freeze the soup, let it cool completely before portioning it into freezer-safe bags or containers. It can last up to 3 months in the freezer. To reheat, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and warm up on the stovetop. You’ll have a delicious meal ready to enjoy without the hassle of cooking from scratch again!
