A comforting and flavorful soup that combines all the delicious elements of traditional lasagna into a warm, hearty bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sautéing the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, around 3-4 minutes.
  2. Browning the Meat: Add the ground beef or sausage to the pot, stirring occasionally until browned. If there’s excess fat, drain it off to keep the soup light and flavorful.
  3. Building the Soup Base: Now it’s time to stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, broken lasagna noodles, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring this mouthwatering mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmering to Perfection: Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and ready to soak up all those glorious flavors.
  5. Mixing the Ricotta Delight: In a separate bowl, blend ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt to taste. This creamy addition is key for that classic lasagna feel.
  6. Final Assembly and Serving: Serve the hot soup scooped into bowls. Add a generous spoon of ricotta to each bowl and finish with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and a few fresh basil leaves for that final touch.

Notes

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove, adding a splash of broth if it thickens too much. Can be frozen for up to 3 months, without cheese toppings.
