What To Serve With It
Since this lasagna soup is already hearty and flavorful on its own, you don’t need much to round out the meal—but a few simple sides can make it even better.
I love pairing it with warm, crispy garlic bread for dipping. It’s perfect for soaking up every last bit of that rich broth.
A light side salad is another go-to for me, adding a fresh, crunchy contrast to the soup’s comforting texture. I usually toss mine with greens, cherry tomatoes, and a simple vinaigrette.
Trust me, these easy add-ons take the meal from good to unforgettable!
