Oh my, this was good. It kind of turned out like a cross between a pot pie or casserole and traditional lasagna. I've never tried a lasagna recipe that didn't include a tomato-based sauce, but this was awesome. I didn't have corn on hand and wasn't really wanting corn in it, so I substituted some sliced zucchini that I had. I also used plain nonfat yogurt instead of sour cream. I couldn't find the soup mix at the grocery store, so minced a garlic and added a sprinkling of herbs. Wow, it turned out wonderful. I think the only thing I'd do differently is maybe stirfry or preboil the carrots. Despite the cooking time, they came out a bit crunchy. One tip is to definitely completely thaw the broccoli and then drain it very well. I pressed it several times. If you don't, you'll probably end up with veggie lasagna soup like someone else did. This was terrific. A definite keeper!

I've got to say it wasn't one of my favourites. If I'm going to spend time layering, I'd use a different recipe.

This recipe is VERY rich and heavy. The sauce is similar in taste, texture and thickness to a rich alfredo sauce, which is tasty, but it was too much for my husband and I. I wouldn't say it's all that similar to actual lasagna, more like a very cheesy vegetable casserole. I personally wouldn't use it again as a main dish because it was so heavy, but I think it would make a nice side dish. I replaced the corn with chopped spinach, which tasted great. If I try it as a main dish again next time I will make half of the sauce and replace the other half with a light marinara base, so that it will be more of a cheesy marinara sauce and hopefully not so heavy. And I will definitely add more vegetables like zucchini and even sliced tomatoes. I think the combination of varying the sauce and adding more light veggies would take away some of the heaviness.

better than I thought it would be! I chopped the carrots and broc. in the blender while still frozen because my DH hates big pieces of broc. Subbed one can of broc and cheese soup for one of the mushroom soups as another reviewer suggested. yummy! I also used the no boil noodles like another reviewer suggested and that cut down on the prep time. (Just make sure you cover those noodles with sauce or they come out a little crunchy on the corners).

My husband was leary, but about every 10 minutes after we ate it he kept saying "that was REALLY good!" I sauteed yellow and green zucchini and I slightly cooked some fresh carrots and fresh broccoli and used those as my veggies and it was great! This was also a great "make ahead" dish. I made it Friday without cooking it and kept it in the fridge until we cooked it Sunday night and it was just fine. So I made one for my friend who just had twins knowing she could cook it whenever she got around to it.

Delicious! I made a few modifications--I used cream of chicken instead of cream of mushroom and used a bag of mixed veggies that included broccoli, carrots and water chestnuts, which tasted marvelous. I did keep the frozen corn in as well. Based on other reviews, I steamed my veggies in the microwave and they were the perfect consistency after baking.

Loved this lasagna!! The ONLY thing I might suggest is that...if you want your vegetables tender you may want to pre-cook them before putting them in the lasagna. Yummy.

This lasagna was Awesome!! My DH and I ate this for three meals because we liked it so much and it made a lot! It was just as good if not better as leftovers. I actually used low fat soups (cream of mushroom & cream of chicken) and used mozarella cheese instead of the cheddar. I used all fresh vegetables in this as well (grated carrots, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, onions and garlic) and sauteed them all together on the stovetop before adding to the lasagna. My DH suggested that next time we try adding chicken as well & I can't wait to try it that way!

My whole family (including my 2-year-old!) loved this recipe. I used all ingredients as listed; however, I did rinse and drain off the ice from the frozen vegetables. I think that that may have been what contributed to another reviewer's soupy consistency. (And I didn't add water or milk to the mushroom soup.) Serve this up with a warm, crusty bread, and dinner's complete.

The cafeteria when I was in college served this delicious veggie lasagna that I have been trying to duplicate for years, and now I FINALLY a good facsimile!! Tasted just like I remembered it! I subbed spinach for the corn, added mushrooms to the cheese mixture, and used mozzarella instead of cheddar cheese. My picky Italian husband who believes lasagna should only be made with red sauce didn't care for it, but I ate three pieces! My two-year-old son enjoyed it also. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

Wonderful! Even my picky Italian husband loved this. I used asparagus, carrots, corn, yellow pepper and spinach. If you can't find the herb & garlic dry soup, vegetable works just fine. I only used a little corn - don't listen to other reviews - some corn in vegetable lasagne tastes great. I had enough left over to make a little 8x8 for the freezer. Use the no boil lasagne noodles (Barilla) and you cut your preparation time in half! Thanks for a great make again recipe!!

This lasagna was very favorful. I really think it's the garlic/herb soup mix that makes the filling taste so awesome. I did make a few minor changes. Instead of two cans of cream of mushroom soup, I used one can mushroom and one can brocolli cheese soup since I'm not a big mushroom person. I also had to omit the corn but did add a thin layer of spinach and one layer of thinly sliced tomatoes. One friend I served this to remarked that she really liked the changes.

This is an awesome, high protein veggie meal. I made it for dinner guests and they loved it, and my husband ate almost half of it in one sitting. I think it's almost better heated up the next day. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Adding corn does seem a little weird, but it is actually really good in this recipe. I've made this twice and the first time I made it I prepared it the night before so I could just pop it in the oven the next day, and it turned out perfect.

Perfect alternative to traditional lasagna. My husband does not care for red sauce, so this was a great recipe for him. I didn't add the corn, but instead substituted a 10 oz. pkg. of spinach. It just did'nt feel right to add corn and the spinach was a perfect match.
