Awhile back I asked our Facebook followers for some quick and easy dinner ideas. A few people suggested lasagna soup, and the idea intrigued me. I mean, I love lasagna. Our easy meat lasagna recipe is easily one of our most popular recipes (especially if you pair it with a homemade baguette.) However, I wasn’t so sure how I felt about it in soup form.

So, I searched out Pinterest for different recipes, and I came across a bunch of different ones. Surprisingly – they all sounded delicious. I figured it was worth trying! However, the day I planned to have it, I wasn’t feeling like pasta…it just sounded too heavy. Then I remembered how much I enjoyed this zucchini lasagna recipe, and I thought it might be fun to kind of experiment and make this more of a low carb lasagna soup recipe.

It turned out really yummy, and it didn’t take much time at all to make. The most laborious part was slicing the zucchinis, but using our mandolin (we got it for our wedding, and I thought it was so random. Turns out we use it a lot) made it a lot easier. The one I linked to is only around $8! I’d say you could make this is 30 minutes or less.

I will say that I highly recommend using low sodium chicken broth. It was a little saltier than Forrest and I usually like things (though we really don’t like anything to be salty at all), and since I didn’t add any salt, I definitely attribute that to the salt in the chicken broth. So definitely use low sodium.

Overall though, it was great – the flavor tasted just like lasagna…just in soup form – and it was very creamy. We will definitely be making this one again. You can totally use regular lasagna noodles, but I feel like the zucchini was great and a nice texture.
