Real Lasagna Soup | Food Wishes 

More than ONE BILLION VIEWS! Congratulations Chef John. Well done. 👏👏👏

4:49 "which you're not". These asides always crack me up.

This is the soup I never knew existed and now I need it in my life. Chef John never ceases to amaze!

As good as this looks, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give up making your Christmas Lasagna recipe. It’s just too good.

For me, there is only one casserole that I enjoy even more than lasagna, and that is moussaka. You know where I'm going with this, I would love to see Chef John's take on moussaka soup. Recipes exist, but I think it can be made to be closer to the oven dish. One twist that I would apply would be to be to fry the potatoes crispy and use those as a garnish.

I've been using a pasta shape called Campanelle for my lasagna soup, it's just so much easier than fussy cutting the regular strips. Definitely going to try the oven toasted version with Campanelle though, sounds decadent. These sorts of chunky pasta shapes like radiatore are my favorites.

Reminds me of tortilla soup. Deep fry the tortilla pieces until crispy before dumping into the soup to just get all soggy. But it gives them a whole new character.

This looks marvelous. Since I learned about the "Three ingredient" tomato sauce about 3-4 years ago, I have not purchased sauce in a jar or can with one exception. I always keep one of those tiny cans of sauce for when I just want to make a small pizza. It takes about an hour to make, and it lasts me a couple to three meals. My go to canned tomatoes are Red Gold, whole tomatoes, or Cento Certified San Marzano when I am feeling rich. They never disappoint. And both are available at Walmart.

I'm absolutely making this. I may add chopped spinach and mushrooms.

There's nothing like a glossy, deep crimson tomato soup. This looks fantastic!

This was a winner! Fantastic soup! FYI we left the noodles in the oven for 17 mins - perfect!

This looks so good! I’m a “soup girl”! And I’ll be adding this to my rotation! Thank you, Chef John!

I made Kitchen Sanctuary's Lasagne Soup a month or so ago but this really kicks it up a notch! The frilly-edge pasta just gives it that extra pizzazz, or lazzagzz.

Chef John don't miss.

Toasting those noodles is a GAME CHANGER! I can't wait to try this!!

Lasagna soup is my husband's favorite. Just made it last week. I'll definitely try the extra step next time. Thank you!

Just printed up the recipe. Sounds like the perfect fall/ winter dinner meal.

Just made this and had a heaping serving. This is absolutely delicious. The crunchy pasta, the cheese and eating it like a soup with a spoon is brilliant. This dish is certainly being added to my other Chef John dishes that we make in a regular basis. I highly recommend. He’s absolutely correct, you have to use the real parmigiana reggiano and the good mozzarella not the prepackaged in a bag cheese. The expensive stuff. It make a huge difference.

Just finished making the soup and it is fantastic! Well done Chef John!

The type of personal who makes their own marinara sauce also makes their own bolognese and does the full lasagna. The type of person who does a soup lasagna definitely buys the marinara at the store. You know us so well Chef John.

Literally was looking up a recipe for lasagna soup this morning!! Guess you’ve now become my favorite online *psychic* chef lol! Right on time! Read my mind! Thank you Chef John!!

I'm totally using this soup base but with stuffed tortellini. Thanks Chef!!

One billion views. Congratulations Chef! Love your lasagne soup recipe. I added corn to mine to make it look pretty.

Made this; it was great and a thumbs up around the table. Broke my rule of following a recipe the first time and only making changes later, because I had some spinach and mushrooms that were starting to get close to their end of freshness so I added that. Will add them again the next time as well... So because I had already done that, tuned it further by adding Italian Seasoning spice mix to the soup while simmering during taste testing spices. And the cheese mixture ran out before the lasagna soup did, so other cheese lovers might want to increase the cheese mixture by half. Hard to find tomato paste in tubes around here; I open one of the small cans instead, take out what I need for what I'm cooking, cover the remainder in the can with a piece of cellophane wrap pushed down on top of the remaining paste to protect it from the air, then store the can in the freezer. When I need paste again, a little bit of time with hot water running on the can, and then scoop out the amount of softened paste you need. This one goes in the rotation, except I'll probably simplify by using bow-tie pasta from this point forward. Thank you, Chef John.

I been wanting to make a lasagna soup and every recipe from you has never failed to be delicious so definitely making this soon!

Mouth watering - it looks so delicious! I can’t wait to try this! Thank you! I never heard of lasagna soup before your teaser post. I rarely make lasagna because it is so labor-intensive & time consuming. I prefer creating 5 star soups, so this is a great alternative for me. I love veggies, so I may consider adding mushrooms & various squashes to it.😋

I’ve made this before and was thinking about making it again. The toasting of the noodles is intriguing. Going to try that next time!

5:25 Give it the o-o-oooold skimmer skimmer! 😻

“You’re homemade sauce that you’re using……which you’re not”. Haha. Thanks for knowing your audience

I love the way you talk. The way you break your sentences down and add those little pauses like that is what made me a fan but your food turns out amazing!! Double win for me 😊

This looks delicious Chef. I’m definitely gonna try this. Thank you 👍👍

Chef John, I would love a recipe for Italian sausage. It's not a thing at all in the UK but is a standard in the US. An approximation of herbs and spices used so I can add some to some pork mince or sauages would be greatly appreciated! Definitely will have to try this recipe though!

Brilliant. Thanks for showing

There's a pasta called mafaldine which is basically skinny lasagna noodles. I bet that would work great in this soup.

This looks so good!! Can't wait to try this recipe!!

I’m totally going to make this. Only I’m going to add homemade garlic butter croutons to it at the end as well. 🤘🏻 I love lasagna, but hate the long process of making it, being I’m disabled & it’s painful to stand for long periods. So I make a lot of homemade soups. My son says I’m really good at making homemade soups that he calls me the soup queen & thinks canned soups are disgusting. I’m always inventing & coming up with good soups, but never thought of lasagna soup. I can get my lasagna fix without as much work. Thank you🤘🏻 you rock🤘🏻 and I’m going to cook this tomorrow 😋

I love your recipes!! I have never cooked one I didn’t love!!! Thanks for sharing!!👍👍

I made this tonight and it was fantastic! Thank you Chef John

This video came up in my feed. (ha) What a great recommendation. Your delivery is wonderful, and the food looks amazing. I can't wait to start trying some of these recipes. Thank you.

My mouth is in constant watering mode. Just, wow. Wish I had seen this video earlier on this cold, wet November day. Guess it'll have to be tomorrow's soul food (will still be a cold, wet November day). Cheers, Chef John.

I've been watching chef john for years now, but his deflection in his voice still cracks me up 😂We love you Chef John!❤❤❤

Looks amazing I want some now 😎 love the rehydrating of the pasta makes sense

I love that idea of toasting the noodles, but I would cheese so you could have the crispy cheese like lasagna 😊 The only way I usually make lasagna soup is by actually making a full thin lasagna in a pan. And then I chill it or even freeze. And then I cut it in cubes, and I make a tomato soup with marinara, and then I put the little cubes into the lasagna soup, just heated through and serve . 😘 I get Rave reviews!!

Just braved the elements of the harsh weather outside to go to the shops for several ingredients which i never had at home, gonna be making this tonight but with some sliced up garlic bread baguette to accompany on the side, real winter warmer comfort food dish 👌🏻 cnt wait to try it out 💯

This has given me the idea to parboil/butter/bake other more soup-friendly pasta shapes, like shells or bowties; thanks Chef John!

Been watching for over a decade. You are the goat, chef. Love your style, recipes and wonderful presentation. Cheers!

I am currently having this for dinner DANG !!!!! THIS STUFF IS AWESOME . Thanks Chef John

that looks so good chef john..

Thank you Chef Cook.

Fantastic recipe thank you!

I know what I will be using my Sunday Sauce for this week. Thanks Chef!

I've never heard of this, or thought of this, but since I can't eat lasagna anymore due to achalasia, this might be the next best thing! I will need a smaller, less dense soup, but I loveEVERYTHING about this🙌😍 Toasted noodles. Marinara tomato soup base. Ricotta. Yumm!!

Definitely making this!

I'm going to have to try this recipe. It looks so delicious.

Wow, I wish I had some right now! Looks superb and going to make. I love homemade soups and this one will become my favorite as it has everything I like. Some homemade garlic bread and a salad, a wonderful meal. Thank you for sharing this receipe. 👍

I just made this for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Even my Italian husband said is was fantastic! Thank you John ❤.

lols another great episode and i just knew at link it looked good. thanks for help with cooking better each time, i am both a soup lover and lasagna lover ahh recipe are great

Another great one!!! Chefs John for the win!!!

Love your channel and the recipes you share. Thank you!

The way he speaks, the cadence... It goes high and low and elongates at the end of his sentence. It gets me every time 😅

This sounds wonderful!!!

Yum! This lasagna soup looks incredible!

Fantastic idea.

This recipe is a keeper!!!

I have made 8 quarts of homage pasta sauce this summer. The tomato crop was wonderful this year!

I can't wait to try it!

So I saw this yesterday. I had started a pot of homemade lasagna sauce the day before. (Go ahead, make jokes. Wasn't gonna store it. Was gonna use it!) I watched with amusement until you got to the noodles. Then I realized that you are some kind of noodle savant and what my family and I were having for dinner today. Can't say I followed the recipe completely but 3/4 would have to do. OMFG. Thank you. Thank you. I would never have considered trying this without seeing the video. So good. So freaking good. I am sure your version is good for peeps that aren't as confident with the soup/sauce base. If you are considering making this. Make it ASAP!

I’d make it. Looks delicious 😋 & easy. Thx.

Made this soup tonight with a couple tweaks. Really delicious. Love the cheese “dumplings “

This will be so good. I want this right now

Love your channel brother, been a fan a long time.. take care of you and yours

Chef John is my spirit animal 😊

“…which you’re not” truer words have never been spoken!

I will be making this!

Thank god for letting Chef John cook

Thanks chef john for always providing us with interesting delicious recipes that we may or may not be able to afford. This I have to try since I love lasagna and love soup but hate to work long and hard for my meals.

Oh, my dear and fluffy Lord, I am so making this when winter comes!!! WOW!!! ^_^ Ten out of ten! Fantastic!

I’ve been jonesing for lasagna for ages. I hate making regular lasagna and can’t buy it pre-made because of gluten sensitivity so this could be my easy alternative! Thanks for sharing

That looks amazing!

I got to try this.

spot on mate, spot on. this is good stuff.

I can’t wait to try this soup!!

I'm so excited for this because I have extra packages of fancy flavored lasagna noodles. It's going to be perfect!!

Excellent job and yes this is much easier and taste just as good if not better than regular lasagna

I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do first with the Bison I just bought. Thanks Chef John!

Oh, man. I neeed to do this. This looks so amazing! 😮

I can't wait to,make this. His lasagna is also super good. Tis the season for soup.

That looks amazing!!!!

I think this is a brilliant spin on an old classic. I’ve made it many times in a crockpot (I’m sorry - I know that must sound awful 😂 and it is compared to your presentation!). I’ll definitely forgo the convenience of my recipe just try yours which looks wonderful! And how could you possibly go wrong w buttered noodles! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

Your videos are the best! Keep at it!!!

looks so delicious and tempings thank you for sharing my friend
