Low Carb Lasagna Soup: Hearty Flavor, No Noodles Needed

Low Carb Lasagna Soup is everything you love about traditional lasagna—rich tomato broth, seasoned meat, melted cheese—but without the pasta. This one-pot soup is warm, filling, and fits perfectly into a low-carb or keto lifestyle.

Comfort Food Made Simple (and Lighter)

The first time I made this low carb lasagna soup, I was craving something cozy but still wanted to stay on track with eating lighter. I’d already fallen in love with our slow cooker lasagna soup for how easy it was—and this version gave me all the same cheesy comfort without the carbs.

Think of this recipe as your go-to when you want lasagna flavors fast: ground meat, garlic, tomatoes, broth, and plenty of cheese melted right in. You won’t even miss the noodles.

What’s even better? This dish uses just one pot, basic ingredients, and about 30 minutes from start to finish. It’s great for beginners and busy cooks alike. If you’ve made our chicken lasagna soup before, this is your next must-try twist—especially if you’re cutting back on carbs but still want big flavor.

Make It Yours – Variations & Meal Prep for Low Carb Lasagna Soup

Easy Ways to Customize the Flavor

The beauty of Low Carb Lasagna Soup is how adaptable it is. You can swap meats, tweak spice levels, and even mix up your cheeses to make it your own.

• Use sausage instead of beef: Mild or spicy Italian sausage adds big flavor with minimal work.
• Try ground chicken or turkey: A leaner option that still brings richness when paired with cream and Parmesan.
• Make it dairy-free: Skip the cream and top with a dairy-free cheese or a swirl of unsweetened coconut cream.
• Add low-carb veggies: Zucchini ribbons, spinach, or chopped mushrooms can bulk up the soup while keeping it keto.

This version is especially great for meal planning. It’s easy to double and freeze, making weeknights smoother. Much like our chicken lasagna soup, this one gets even better the next day after the flavors meld.

How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat

Storage:
Let your Low Carb Lasagna Soup cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezing:
Freeze in individual portions for quick lunches. Just leave out the ricotta topping until ready to serve. This soup freezes well for up to 3 months.

Reheating:
Warm on the stove over low heat until hot, or microwave in 1-minute intervals. If the soup thickens too much, stir in a splash of broth or cream to loosen it.

This make-ahead gem is a favorite when we prep meals like garlic parmesan flank steak pinwheels or stock the freezer for cozy weeknights.

Light But Filling – Nutrition & Serving Ideas

Low Carb Lasagna Soup is rich and satisfying without the heaviness of pasta. Each spoonful brings you tender ground meat, cheesy broth, and that slow-cooked tomato flavor—all with fewer carbs than a traditional bowl of soup.

One hearty serving offers plenty of protein and fat to keep you full, making it ideal for low-carb or keto lifestyles. A typical portion has about 7g net carbs, depending on your toppings and mix-ins.

Low Carb Lasagna Soup is filling on its own, but it pairs well with a few easy sides. Try a fresh green salad, a scoop of air fryer Cajun potatoes, or even a low-carb garlic flatbread.

This soup also plays well with prepped dishes like dairy-free buffalo chicken dip when you’re building out a full comfort-food spread for the family.

A Low-Carb Staple You’ll Want on Repeat

If you meal prep for the week, this soup is perfect for reheating in batches. Whether you’re packing lunches or looking for an easy dinner, having a batch of Low Carb Lasagna Soup in the fridge means you’re just minutes away from a hearty, feel-good bowl.

We often pair it with a crisp salad or roasted veggie for a complete low-carb dinner. It also fits perfectly into family meals where not everyone is following a low-carb plan—just add breadsticks on the side for others.

This soup is as satisfying as our chicken lasagna soup, but with a lighter twist. And when you’re craving something slow-simmered and cozy, don’t forget the slow cooker lasagna soup version too—it’s another great option for busy days.
