I once read that every good soup tells a story. So true!
These soups definitely tell a story.
They were born out of the quarantine period of the COVID-19 pandemic when I spent countless days being cooped up in a one-bedroom, New York City apartment with no outdoor space and a lot of extra time on my hands. I needed to focus on something positive, challenging, and delicious. I began by transforming a handful of favorite dishes into soup versions, or, in my parlance, I SOUPified them. My desire soon grew into a full cookbook of SOUPified recipes—which has never been done before.
…
These thirty-one recipes (plus supporting recipes) are the weekend comfort food soups of your dreams—hearty compilations of flavor, color, and texture, many of which are meals in and of themselves. They are intended to bring people together around the cutting board, stove, and of course, the table. Whimsical and fun, they are meant to be shared!
LASAGNE SOUP
I wouldn’t be a good Italian American if I did not SOUPify this quintessential family classic. Lasagne is beloved for a reason—its layers of savory beef, creamy cheeses, tomato sauce, fresh herbs, and silky noodles offer flavor and richness unmatched in most other dishes. Eating it is like a big hug from Mom. And Grandmom. And who doesn’t love a big hug?
Do I dare say that you might even consider ditching the somewhat laborious, traditional version of lasagne for this more streamlined, SOUPified pot of deliciousness? I do. Indeed. All the flavors and textures of mouthwatering lasagne in comforting soup form—it’s an easy decision if you ask me!
