3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Prepare the White Lasagna Soup

Sauté the Aromatics

Heat the Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker or your preferred skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Cook the Ground Meat

Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and basil. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add Broth and Beans

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the white beans and cook for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

Cook the Pasta

Meanwhile, cook the pasta separately according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. You can use a Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker to prepare fresh pasta for that extra special touch.

Combine and Make it Creamy

Add the cooked pasta to the soup mixture. Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream or half-and-half. Mix well and simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.

Finish with Cheese

Stir in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve and Garnish

Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your delicious white lasagna soup. For an extra crispy topping, consider finishing with a sprinkle of crushed garlic croutons or a drizzle of basil pesto.

4. How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. For quick reheating, you can use the TOSHIBA Sleek Countertop Microwave.
