Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 cups chicken or beef broth
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef or Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Stir in the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken or beef broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
