Tips for the Best Soup

To enhance the flavor of your creamy dried tomato lasagna soup, consider using quality canned tomatoes. San Marzano tomatoes are particularly known for their rich taste and sweetness, making them a great choice. Additionally, fresh herbs can elevate the dish even further, so don’t skip the basil!

If you want to add a bit of spice, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes while sautéing the onions. This adds a lovely warmth that complements the creamy broth beautifully.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your creamy lasagna soup with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal. A sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese on top just before serving adds a lovely touch and enhances the overall flavor profile.

For a fun twist, you can also serve the soup in bread bowls for a delightful dining experience. This not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also allows you to enjoy the delicious flavors soaked into the bread.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover creamy dried tomato lasagna soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for about three days. When reheating, add a splash of vegetable broth or water to loosen the soup, as it may thicken when stored.
