Ingredients and substitution notes 

• Cherry Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are small and sweet, and add a pop of color to the soup. If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, you can use regular tomatoes, diced tomatoes from a can, or even sun-dried tomatoes for a more intense flavor.

• Olive Oil: This is used to sauté the onion and garlic for added flavor. You can use any other cooking oil.

• Onion: Adds a sweet and savory flavor to the soup. You can use any type of onion you have on hand.

• Garlic: Adds a pungent and savory flavor to the soup. You can use garlic powder or minced garlic from a jar if you don’t have fresh garlic.

• Italian seasoning: A blend of dried herbs that typically includes basil, oregano, and thyme. You can use any Italian herb blend you like or make your own by combining dried herbs.

• Nutritional Yeast Flakes: Adds a cheesy and nutty flavor to the soup. If you don’t have nutritional yeast, you can skip it or add a tablespoon of miso paste instead.

• Better-Than-Bouillon: A concentrated paste that adds flavor to the soup. You can use vegetable bouillon cubes or powder instead of Better-than-Bouillon.

• Lemon Juice: Adds a tangy and bright flavor to the soup.

• Salt: Balances the flavors in the soup. Use any type of salt you prefer.

• Soaked Cashews: These add a creamy texture and nutty flavor to the soup. If you don’t have cashews, you can use soaked almonds or macadamia nuts instead.

• Protein Add-ins: Add in a protein source to make your soup more filling. You can add cooked lentils, chickpeas, or vegan meat crumbles.

Top tips

• Don’t skimp on the seasonings: Use plenty of seasonings to give your soup depth of flavor and make sure you taste the sauce and soup as you go so that it isn’t under-seasoned.

• Be mindful of the soup’s thickness: Lasagna soup should be thick and hearty, but not too thick. If your soup is too thick, you can add a bit of vegetable broth to thin it out.

• Use a large pot: Lasagna soup makes a lot of servings, so it’s important to use a large pot to avoid overflow.

• Experiment with variations: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different vegetables, noodles, and spices to make your vegan lasagna soup unique and exciting every time you make it!
