The Simple Ingredients
I bet you have half of this already. That’s the beauty. This is about smart cooking, not fancy shopping.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or more!)
- 1 (24-oz) jar spicy arrabbiata sauce
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 6-8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 lb medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Let’s Get Cooking! (The Step-by-Step)
Grab your big soup pot. We’re doing this in one dish. I promise it’s incredibly simple.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Don’t let it burn!
- Pour in the entire jar of arrabbiata sauce, the broth, and the diced tomatoes. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles. Let them cook in the simmering broth for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick.
- When the noodles are almost done, add the raw shrimp. They cook fast! Give it 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the fresh basil and half of the mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan. The heat will melt it perfectly. Garnish with more basil.
What to Serve With This Dish
This soup is a meal by itself. But if you want to round it out, keep it easy.
A simple green salad with Italian dressing is perfect. So is a slice of crusty garlic bread for dipping.
Want something lighter? Try a quick side of roasted broccoli. Toss it in oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F while the soup cooks. Done.
Make This Recipe Your Own (Quick Swaps)
Make it work for you. Use what you have. No stress.
No shrimp? Use cooked Italian sausage or shredded rotisserie chicken. Add it with the broth to heat through. For a fantastic sausage-based version, this Spicy Italian Sausage and Pepper Lasagna Soup is a must-try.
Not a spice fan? Use a jar of regular marinara sauce. You’ll still get amazing flavor.
Gluten-free? Swap the regular lasagna noodles for your favorite GF pasta. Cook it separately and add it at the end.
How to Store Leftovers (If You Have Any!)
This soup saves like a dream. Let it cool completely.
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The noodles will soak up broth, so add a splash of water or broth when you reheat it.
You can freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating gently on the stove.
