Lasagna Soup is a comforting, hearty meal that combines the classic flavors of lasagna in an easy-to-make soup, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add tomatoes and broth: Incorporate the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the pot. Bring this mixture to a boil.
  3. Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Incorporate ricotta: Stir in the ricotta cheese until it is well combined and creamy, enhancing the soup’s richness.
  5. Serve and garnish: Serve the soup hot, topping each bowl with shredded mozzarella cheese and garnishing with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

Don’t overcook the noodles; check seasoning and adjust as necessary. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes.
