Customization & Serving
While fantastic as is, this Vegan Lasagna Soup is wonderfully adaptable to your pantry and preferences. You could easily boost the vegetable content with diced carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini, adding them alongside the onion. For an even creamier texture, stir in a dollop of vegan ricotta or cashew cream just before serving. If you prefer a different lentil, brown lentils can be used, though they might take slightly longer to cook.
This hearty soup makes a complete meal on its own, ideal for a comforting weeknight dinner. Serve it in a generous bowl with a sprinkle of fresh basil for an aromatic finish, perhaps alongside some crusty bread for dipping into the rich, savory broth.
