Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef (or Italian sausage)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 sheets lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef (or Italian sausage) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Season with dried basil, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the noodles cook, prepare the cheese topping by mixing the ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls.
Dollop a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each bowl of soup. The heat of the soup will melt and soften the cheeses.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
