What To Serve With It
I love pairing my lasagna soup with garlic bread because it’s perfect for soaking up every last bit of that rich, flavorful broth. A fresh side salad adds a nice crunch and balances out the meal with some greens. Trust me, this combo makes the whole dish feel even more satisfying!
Garlic Bread
Nothing beats a warm, buttery slice of garlic bread when you’re serving up a bowl of lasagna soup. I love how the garlic seasoning benefits both flavor and health, adding a punch of taste while being good for you. For the best results, try my bread baking tips: use fresh minced garlic, mix it with softened butter, and spread it thick on a crusty loaf. Pop it in the oven until golden—trust me, that crispy edge is worth the wait. It’s so simple, yet it turns a cozy soup into a feast. Plus, who can resist dipping it into that rich broth?
Side Salad
A fresh side salad balances the richness of lasagna soup perfectly, adding crunch and brightness to every bite. I love experimenting with salad varieties, like a classic Caesar, a tangy Greek, or a simple mix of greens with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. For dressing options, I keep it light with a zesty vinaigrette or creamy ranch, depending on my mood. Sometimes, I’ll toss in some croutons or nuts for extra texture. It’s such an easy way to round out the meal, and I always feel like I’m getting a little extra nutrition without sacrificing flavor.
