This One-Pot Vegan Lasagna Soup is made with simple ingredients, full of lasagna flavor, and topped with a vegan ricotta. Hearty, dairy-free, and delicious!
Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic powder and dried oregano to a food processor and pulse until creamy. Taste and adjust for seasonings. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
Make the lasagna soup
Add the olive oil to a dutch oven/large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, adding water as needed to de-glaze the pot.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for another minute.
Add in the red lentils, vegetable broth, and tomato puree/passata. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, for 15-20 minutes, until the red lentils are soft.
Add the pasta (or broken lasagna noodles) directly to the pot. Let simmer, partially covered, for 8-10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked.
Stir in the spinach, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust for seasonings. If needed, add more water or vegetable broth.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of vegan ricotta and a sprinkle of vegan cashew parmesan, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding broth if needed.
This soup will thicken the longer it sits as the noodles soak up more of the pasta. But not to worry! Simply add a splash of water or broth when reheating to restore the desired consistency. The flavor will be the same.
