Description
A hearty and comforting soup that combines the classic flavors of lasagna in a warm bowl, perfect for any night.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Parmesan cheese for serving
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the meat: In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Drain the fat: Carefully drain any excess fat from the pot to prevent a greasy soup.
- Add the liquids: Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and tomato paste. Mix well for rich flavor.
- Season the soup: Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
- Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate the cheeses: Once the noodles are tender, stir in the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese, heating through for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping with remaining mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.
Notes
Perfect served with crusty bread or garlic bread on the side. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
