Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking them up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken or beef broth, Italian seasoning, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender.
While the soup is cooking, prepare the cheesy topping. In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Once the noodles are fully cooked, taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot in bowls. Place a generous scoop of the ricotta mixture in the center of each bowl and sprinkle with extra mozzarella cheese if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your Cheeeesy Lasagna Soup!
