One-Pot Vegan Lasagna Soup
If you are a pasta lover and a soup fan, you will love this vegan lasagna dish as much as I do. You know, I love creamy soups so much and I could probably never say no to pasta. So let’s find out why this lasagna soup is a must for cold fall and winter nights:
- It’s a one-pot meal which saves dishes
- The soup is thick, flavorful, and satisfying
- It’s simple, vegan, and wholesome
- The soup is ready in 30 minutes
- Creamy pasta, do I need to say more?!
How To Make A Vegan Lasagna Soup?
This soup is quite easy to make and all you need is one pot, a stove, and of course, all the ingredients to make the soup:
- Rinse lentils under running water.
- Chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for a further one minute.
- Add all spices, the lentils, tomato sauce, cashew butter, and the vegetable broth or water. Stir with a whisk and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces. Once the soup boils add the lasagna noodles and cook for about 9-10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
- Finally, add the plant-based milk or cream, the lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Turn off the heat.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. I had to add more salt and pepper. You can also add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicier soup!
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh herbs.
Red Lentils
I made this lasagna soup twice in two days (for recipe testing purposes). The first time, I didn’t include lentils and the soup turned out pretty thin and watery. Then I made it again with the addition of red lentils and it made such a huge difference!!! The vegan lasagna soup turned out rich, creamy, thick, and very delicious.
Lentils are amazing, they contain so many nutrients and furthermore lots of plant-based protein. I love adding them to savory meals because they make it not only healthier but also more delicious!

Vegan Ricotta
I made some recipe testing recently and tried out a vegan ricotta cheese. The base of the recipe is chickpeas and almond flour. Most vegan ricotta recipes include cashews or almonds but I tried to keep it as simple as possible. The result turned out very delicious, my boyfriend was delighted and asked for more.
Please comment below if you want me to share the recipe with you on my blog in the future. Of course, you can use store-bought vegan ricotta or any other cheese of choice (for example vegan mozzarella) to garnish your delicious vegan lasagna soup. 🙂

Vegan Lasagna Soup
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 1/4 tsp sea salt or less/more to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup (105 g) dry red lentils
- 5 cups (1200 ml) water or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) plant-based milk or cream
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato sauce (passata)

- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Vegan ricotta or mozzarella to garnish (optional)
- Fresh herbs (e.g. parsley) to garnish
Instructions
- In a sieve, rinse lentils under running water, set aside.
- Chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for a further one minute.
- Add all spices (Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, black pepper), the lentils, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cashew butter, and the vegetable broth or water. Stir with a whisk and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces. Once the soup boils add the lasagna noodles and cook for about 9-10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.

- Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add more salt, pepper, Italian herbs as needed. You can also add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicier soup!
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh herbs and vegan ricotta cheese. Enjoy!
- The soup will thicken over time, as the noodles will absorb a lot of the liquid. Simply add more vegetable broth if you want to eat leftovers the next day. Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.

My favorite recipe when I don’t have time to cook but I want something satisfying and tasty. I use whole grain pasta and 1 cup of lentils. They t
Sounds amazing! I am so glad you like this recipe. 🙂
I made this today, and both me and my 3 kids loved it. So delicious!!!

Happy you liked it! 🙂
Hi, I just have a question. Why do you add cashew butter to this recipe? I think it’s a lovely recipe but I prefer it without the cashew butter and just wondered if there was a reason that you added it or is it just because you like the flavour?
Hi Emma! It’s for the taste and because it makes the soup creamier! You can leave it out if you don’t like it.
This is an excellent and easy recipe. Substituted almond butter for the cashew butter and substituted about 3 tbsp of tomato paste/water for the tomato sauce, only because I did not have these ingredients on hand. Delicious comfort food. Really enjoying your recipes. Thank you!
Sounds awesome, Emily! I am glad it turned out so delicious. 🙂
Loved this recipe! It will be a regular go-to, especially when winter hits. Many thanks 😊
Sounds awesome, Kara! I am so glad you like the recipe. 🙂
Absolutely amazing! Loved this recipe, so much nicer than I expected and it really does taste just like Lasagne! So impressed
I swapped cashew butter (as I don’t have any in, or a blender strong enough to make it) for plain hummus and it worked perfectly.
Can’t recommend enough!!
That’s awesome, Sophie! Such a great idea to use hummus. 🙂
Thanks for your feedback!
What a delicious recipe! It’s warm, comforting and perfect for a cold winter’s night. The flavors meld together perfectly! I’ve made it countless times and it’s always such a big hit! Thank you!
That’s awesome, Rebecca! I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Absolutely amazing. So much flavour and so easy & quick to make. Thanks so much for this!
Awesome! I am glad you enjoyed the recipe, Emily. 🙂
This recipe is amazing! I made it for dinner twice this week and doubled the recipe the second time. My husband loves it!! It has been perfect because I have all the ingredients in my pantry. Thank you so much!!!
So glad you loved it! 🙂
This was really good. We have made it twice. But it does not really remind me of lasagna soup – more like stroganoff or goulash. Sometimes we add vegan meatballs to it. Next time we might leave out the noodles and serve it over mashed potatoes with nut loaf.
So glad you like the recipe, Colleen! And these are definitely some yummy serving suggestions. 🙂
Wow, this was divine! I made the following substitutions baseed on taste and what was in the cupboards.
Instead of X, I used _______
Lasagna sheets > Mafaldine Corte Pasta
Plant-based milk > Coconut Milk
Lemon juice > Balsamic vinegar
Paspassa > Chopped tomatoes
I also added the following
– Cayenne pepper
– A drop of maple syrup
– Chopped zucchini
– Chopped red bell pepper
This will be a staple in my house for sure! Thank you <3

You are welcome, Evie! I am glad it turned out delicious. 🙂
This was one of the greatest things I have made in a long time. I used coconut milk and it was unbelievable. I can’t get over how delicious my dinner was, definitely another keeper! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe!
Aww, that’s awesome, Anastasia! I am so glad you loved the recipe. 🙂
May I ask what you used the coconut milk for? Do you mean when the ingredients call for a diary free milk?
Hi Helen, the recipe calls for plant-based milk or cream and Anastasia chose coconut milk. 🙂
This is my new favourite recipe! It’s so delicious and I didn’t even have vegan ricotta. My mom loved it too. Thank-you so much for the amazing recipe. I didn’t make the lasagna noodles small enough, and I might try a different kind of pasta next time 😊
Sounds wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jessica. 🙂
Delicious! So good!! Can you post a similar tasting recipe that goes in the oven? This was so yummy, one of faves now!
Do you mean a vegan lasagna? Check out my vegan lasagna rolls: https://elavegan.com/vegan-lasagna-roll-ups/ 🙂
Loved the recipe. Soup is filling, creamy and with robust flavor. I added coconut milk as my plant based milk option, may have made it creamier.
Sounds great, Amber! I am so glad you loved the recipe. 🙂
IM in love! My new favorite recipe. I don’t cook soup for my sick friends because I’m not really good, I want to them to get better not sicker hehehe. This came out wonderful enough that I will happily make for myself ALOT and share with friends. I’m allergic to tomatoes so I substituted tomatoes paste with sweet potato. I added Gardein ground meat to give my meat eating hubby the meat feel and he loved it also. Love your recipes always flavorful and simple for even me a not so good cook.
Aww, thanks so much for your wonderful feedback! I am so glad it turned out delicious! 🙂
This lasagna soup is amazing! I love that I didn’t have to spend an hour chopping and cutting a bunch of different veggies, yet the flavors are outstanding in this simple recipe. Can’t wait to make this again!
That’s awesome, Kamila! I am so glad it turned out great. 🙂
Love this!!!
I’m from Germany and when I first read the list of ingredients I thought, wow this is pretty much, but then I noticed I had everything at home except 3 ingredients. I love that you explain every step in such a detail and my boyfriend and I were overwhelmed by the outcome. It’s delicious and really simple to cook. Thank you!
That’s awesome, Kaddi! I am so glad you and your boyfriend loved this soup! Thanks for your kind feedback. 🙂
I LOVE this recipe! However, has anyone made this in an instant pot? Curious to know how they made it! Thanks!
So glad you love it, Amber! 🙂
Delicious!
I tweaked it a little due to what I had on hand but it was excellent! Thank you!
You are very welcome, Laura! I am glad you liked the recipe. 🙂
My boyfriend and I loved this soup! So cheesy and delicious. We finished the whole pot for dinner 🙂
I am so glad you both loved the soup! Thanks for your great feedback, Hilary! 🙂
Would you recommend dressing this then can just add noodles later?
You need to cook the noodles in the soup, otherwise, the soup will be too thin.
I’d love your vegan ricotta recipe
Thanks for your interest, Carmela. I will definitely share it soon. 🙂
So many thoughts!!! Very excited to try this and will let you know how it goes. I love your recipes and this one seems so easy even my husband could make it 😊 still want to attempt your sweet potato pizza but I am a little intimidated 💜🧡
I hope you will love it as much as I do! 🙂
Can’t wait to try this and would love to have the vegan ricotta recipe please.
Thank you, Suzanne! 🙂
Love love this recipe! Can’t tell you how many times I have made this and every single time everyone loves. Just found your creamy pasta soup and can’t wait to make that! I’m sure it will be fabulous. So far every recipe of yours I have tried has been amazing!!!! Thanks so much for sharing !!!
Sounds absolutely amazing! Thanks for your great feedback, LouAnn! 🙂
This is the first recipe of yours that I have tried, and it is AMAZING!!! I didn’t even add the vegan cheese–just the ingredients listed, and I used almond butter because that is what I had on hand. I had my doubts about using dry lentils without soaking them overnight, but they were perfect. I get the feeling that I will be making this pretty frequently from now on!
I am so glad you liked the recipe, Kimberly! 🙂
How do the dry red lentils cook to soft in that short amount of time? Or did I miss something?
Red lentils cook very fast! 🙂
It’s a very delicious dish! Even better on the next day. ❤️
That’s wonderful! Thanks for your feedback, Marta. 🙂
This recipe looks great and I want to try it soon. I’d love your vegan ricotta recipe too.
Thanks, Barb! I hope you will give this soup a try. 🙂
I would love to know your vegan ricotta recipe! I have yet to try making this soup but it sure looks good!
I will share it soon! 🙂
This soup is amazing.
Is the lemon juice for the cashew part or what is the purpose of the lemon juice?
Didn’t have cashew butter so I blended 1 cup veggie broth with one cup cashews then added 1/2 for the cashew butter part and the rest where it says plant based milk or cream.
Thank you for this recipe!!
Thanks for your feedback, Kalia. Yes, the lemon juice adds a nice flavor but is not a must. 🙂
I don’t usually like soup, this dish is way more hearty then I expected. an amazing comfort meal!
Glad you like this lasagna soup, Emma! Thanks for your great feedback! ❤️
Trying this tonight! I want to use different noodles. Can you tell me how much to use?
Use the same amount in grams (150 g). 🙂
My whole family really liked it, and that’s saying a lot with picky 8 and 12 year olds! Forgot I was out of nutritional yeast and it was still good, can’t wait to try it as written.
I am happy you and your family liked the recipe, Kristie! 🙂
This soup looks so creamy and delicious! Should definitely try it! ? Lots of love, Bianca ❤️
I am sure you will love it! Enjoy, Bianca. 🙂
OOOO, this looks so good! Will pin to try later this week. Would also love a vegan cheese alternative. We don’t do nuts due to hubby’s health issues… thanks so much!
Thank you, Ann! 🙂
This looks amazing! My hubby is allergic To cashews. Could other nut butters be substituted? Thank you!
Hi Carrie! Yes, and it’s actually mentioned in the recipe notes. 🙂
“You can use any other nut butter of choice (for example almond butter).”
Can’t wait to make this! Yes! Please share the ricotta recipe.
Thank you, Monica! 🙂
can you use no bake lasagna noodles i.e. there is a great green lentil pasta that comes in no bake lasagana noodels..have used in oven and are great….and if you use almond butter instead of cashew is there a difference in thickness and is almond milk ok? thanks
Hello Lisbeth! I never heard of no-bake lasagna noodles, so I cannot tell you if it will work. You can use almond butter instead of cashew butter, there shouldn’t really be a difference. Almond milk is fine! 🙂
I think you mean no boil noodles. I would say they should work, just add a bit less liquid. You can always add more if you need to. Easy to add not so easy to take out later! Can’t wait to try this soup. Already made veggie chili for tonight. Maybe tomorrow…thanks Ela for all the amazing recipes!
Thanks for answering her question, Karen! I hope you will like the soup. 🙂
My husband has an allergy to tree nuts . Any substitute you can recommend for the cashew butter? I suppose I can always make it without that ingredient , but …???
Hi Caroline, you could use sesame seed butter (tahini) but it has a slightly bitter taste. Another option would be sunflower seed butter. You can, of course, leave it out but the soup won’t be as creamy then. 🙂
Absolutely delicious! My newly plant based boyfriend found this recipe and we both never had lasagna soup before so we weren’t sure what to expect. But it ended up being SO yummy! We added a bit of shredded vegan cheddar on top. Thanks for this!!
Yay! I am so glad you both loved it. Thanks for your great feedback, Kat. 🙂
This soups is the real deal! I used quinoa noddle so it’s also gluten free. It tastes so good you think it’s like hamburger helper! My teen daughter even liked it and that’s saying something! I just relooked at the ingredients because I can’t believe it’s healthy. I might try adding a few veggies next time but otherwise it was a hit! Loved the lentils!
That’s fantastic, Annette! I am so happy you and your teen daughter loved the recipe. 🙂
I loved this recipe and so did my husband! Tasted very much like lasagna. I added a little more Italian seasoning and also some fennel. I love the authentic flavor that fennel gives lasagna and it was the perfect pop to this soup. Moving this one up to one of my favorite vegan meals!
That’s awesome! And very interesting to read about the addition of fennel! Thanks so much for your feedback, dear! 🙂
I made this soup today and it was delicious!!! So filling and a great comfort food on a chilly Pennsylvania day. I plan to make the chocolate chip pumpkin bread tomorrow. I love that you put the notes at the bottom with possible ingredient substitutions. You are my #1 recipe website!
Aww, that makes me so happy, Nicole! Thanks so much for your kind feedback. 🙂
Delicious and loved by our whole family! Seasonings were spot on … I added kale and served it with almond milk ricotta! The cashew butter was a perfect ingredient… Thanks for a great recipe!
That’s awesome! Thanks a lot for your fantastic feedback, Angie. 🙂
Absolutely delicious and smells wonderful! I love anything creamy and pasta the recipe was so simple to follow and the payoff is just amazing I’m definitely making this again sometime soon!
That’s wonderful! Thanks so much for your amazing feedback, Kevin. 🙂
I love soup and I love lasagna! When I realized you had read my mind, I ran over to the kitchen and started pulling ingredients out. I did substitute meatless crumbles for the lentils and added chopped spinach and kale and it turned out amazing! My son and I nearly finished the whole pot. Thank you for this recipe and for all your creativeness especially when I’m feeling uninspired.
Wow, that’s amazing! I am so glad you and your son enjoyed this lasagna soup. Thanks for your great feedback, Elsa! 🙂
Loved this and would also love to have your vegan ricotta recipe!
I am so glad you loved the lasagna soup, Patti! And thanks for your interest in the vegan ricotta recipe. 🙂
Me too love new cheeze ideas. Less cashew products makes me happier!
Thanks for your feedback, Lisa! 🙂
