# Lasagna Noodle Soups Platings and Pairings' Lasagna Soup Transforms a Classic Noodle Dish By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-01-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-soup References: [platingsandpairings](http://www.platingsandpairings.com/lasagna-soup/) & [platingsandpairings](http://www.platingsandpairings.com/) Most people who have made a [layered lasagna dish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-your-portion) from scratch can tell you that it takes quite a bit of time—but this [lasagna soup recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-heritage-month) from the Platings and Pairings blog offers a way to enjoy all of the same flavors without a major time commitment. The Italian-inspired soup is made with all of the same ingredients that you'd find in a classic lasagna, including ground beef, chopped onion, tomatoes, tomato paste, plus some [savory herbs and spices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-tortilla-soup) like basil, oregano, thyme, parsley and rosemary. Rather than spending hours at a time carefully arranging layers of vegetables, meat, cheese and noodles, this dish takes about 10 minutes to prepare and only 20 to cook. To really make this dish resemble a baked lasagna, it can be served with a combination of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Efficient Meal Preparation:** Lasagna noodle soups offer a time-saving alternative to traditional lasagna by reducing the preparation and cooking time. - **Comfort Food Reinvention:** Lasagna noodle soups provide a twist on classic comfort food dishes, allowing for new variations and flavor combinations. - **Creative Soup Recipes:** The popularity of lasagna noodle soups showcases the demand for innovative and unique soup recipes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Convenience Food:** The convenience food industry can capitalize on the trend of lasagna noodle soups by introducing ready-to-cook soup kits with lasagna-inspired ingredients. - **Cookware and Kitchen Appliances:** The cookware and kitchen appliance industry can develop specialized soup pots and kitchen gadgets that are designed specifically for making lasagna noodle soups. - **Food Blogging and Online Recipe Platforms:** Food bloggers and online recipe platforms can create and share lasagna noodle soup recipes to capitalize on the trend and attract readers and followers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pea-Based Lasagna Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenb-lasagna.md) - [Premium Plant-Based Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-lasagna.md) - [Vegetarian Squash Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butternut-squash-italian-lasagna.md) - [TV Diner-Style Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-cheese-lasagna-tv-dinner.md) - [Lasagna-Flavored Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-inspired-bloody-mary-mix.md) - [Wholesome Vegan Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-lasagnas.md) - [Cheesy Double Decker Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-double-stack-lasagna.md) - [Shrunken Lasagna-Like Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-mafalda-corta-pasta.md) - [Layered Lasagna-Inspired Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lasagna.md)
