With spicy sausage, tender noodles, and a melty cheese topping, this Lasagna Soup recipe has all your favorite Italian ingredients simmered together in one pot.
A steaming hot bowl of Lasagna Soup makes everybody happy at dinnertime.
Soup season is in full swing and I couldn’t be more excited. Since we moved to Ohio, I’ve been looking forward to meals full of all my favorite Soups and Stews as the temperatures drop.
I already have a feeling we’ll be eating many more bowls of this tasty soup on cold nights all winter long!
Easy Lasagna Soup
Lasagna soup is everything you love about a classic Italian lasagna simmered in soup form. My family loves lasagna with lots of meat in it, so I used both hot sausage and ground beef in this soup.
After browning the meat, I added onions, garlic, and tomatoes along with Italian Seasoning. After simmering everything in chicken broth and adding curly mafalda noodles, the soup finishes with the best ingredient of all: lots of cheese.
For the cheese topping, I use a blend of three different kinds of Italian cheeses. The mix of Ricotta, Parmesan, and Mozzarella cheese adds rich, creamy flavors to this soup.
A big scoop of the cheese topping on my bowl of soup made me very happy indeed. Every spoonful of soup was full of tangy tomato, hot sausage, perfectly cooked noodles, and gooey cheese.
Everyone in my family loves this Lasagna Soup. Most of us went back for a second bowl!
This apple pecan brie cheese appetizer takes the classic combination of flavors to a sweet new level. So easy to make and everyone will love them.
When you throw out words like “brie”, “roasted apples”, and “puff pastry”, you automatically start to think that this is mega fancy. Secretly, it’s so dang easy, which makes it perfect for holiday parties!
The melty brie fills the crunchy puff pastry with savory creaminess while the apple adds sweetness. It’s the perfect combination of flavors and textures!
What is Brie?
Brie is a soft, buttery and creamy cheese that originated in France. It is off-white in color and made from cow’s milk. It is rich, fruity and earthy in flavor.

Ingredients for Baked Brie Bites
Most of the ingredients for this baked brie appetizer are items that you buy ahead of time and just assemble. So easy! Here is everything you will need:
- Apple: Honeycrisp, Envy, Braeburn or any apple you love works great
- Olive Oil: helps roast the apples
- Salt: enhances the apple flavor
- Puff Pastry: just buy it pre-made at the store
- Brie: grab is in your deli section, you can buy a large wheel of brie or small wheels because they will get cubed
- You can leave the rind on or remove it.
- Fig Jam: buy a small jar, I love Trader Joe’s, but any brand works great
- If you can’t find fig jam, apricot would be a good substitute.
- Egg and Water: makes an egg wash to help the puff pastry get crispy and golden
- Cinnamon Pecans: you can make your own or buy them already made at the store
- Rosemary: fresh is preferred and chop it up little
The details for all the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Where Do I Find Brie Cheese?
You will want to head to the deli section to find brie. It will usually be sitting out in the cheese display area, near the feta and other cheeses.
Where Do I Find Puff Pastry?
Puff pastry is found in the freezer section of the grocery store near the pie crusts. The most common brand that I see is Pepperidge Farm.
