Method
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetable broth. Stir everything together to combine.
- Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
- Add the Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through.
- Stir in Vegan Ricotta: Once the noodles are soft, stir in the dairy-free ricotta. It will melt slightly, creating a creamy texture throughout the soup.
- Simmer and Serve: Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor. Serve hot!
Notes
If you like your soup a bit thicker, you can add more noodles, or for a creamier texture, increase the amount of vegan ricotta. This soup is very forgiving, and you can always adjust the flavors to suit your taste. If you have leftovers, they make for a great lunch the next day, and the flavors only get better!
