Craving a creamy lasagne but too busy to prepare an actual oven baked recipe? Simply stick the lasagne ingredients into one soup pot and in less than an hour you can have a bowl of deliciously spiced satisfying lasagne soup. Magic!
Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the broken lasagne sheets. The sheets may try and clump together so just make sure they stay apart and push them under the soup.Simmer or gently boil for 15 minutes.
250 grams dried lasagne
Stir a few times to ensure the soup isn't sticking to your pot, and add extra veggie broth if necessary.
If your soup begins to stick just remove the pot from the heat and place a lid on the pot for the rest of the cooking time or until the lasagne sheets have cooked through and the vegetables are soft.
To finish, stir through the garam masala, nutritional yeast flakes and the plant-based cream or milk. Check the seasoning and add enough salt and pepper to bring all the flavours together. Remove the bay leaf.
25 grams nutritional yeast flakes, 1 tablespoon garam masala powder, 250 millilitre plant cream or plant milk
If using, garnish the soup with coriander and shredded vegan cheese.Slices of fresh baby or cherry tomatoes are a tasty addition, as is a little wedge of lemon to squeeze over the soup if liked.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Freeze leftovers for 2-3 months.
Reheat by adding the soup to a saucepan, bring to the boil, lower heat and gently heat through for 2-3 minutes. Extra liquid is usually required as the soup will become very thick as it sits. Just add enough extra veggie broth, water or plant-based milk for the soup to be able to simmer easily.
Not keen on courgette? Simply replace it with a different vegetable of your choice such as an aubergine [eggplant], mushrooms, extra bell peppers or sweet potatoes, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
The sweet potato can be substituted for pumpkin, squash, marrow or butternut squash.
