Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Milk
- 8 Lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess grease if needed.
Stir in the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, milk, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the broken lasagna noodles and stir well to prevent sticking. Simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan until melted and creamy.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil (if desired).
