Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 2 cups uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat:
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add the Tomatoes and Broth:
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the Noodles:
- Once the broth is boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles and stir to combine. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- Make the Cheese Mixture:
- While the soup is simmering, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses in a bowl.
- Finish the Soup:
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the cheese mixture until it’s evenly distributed and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
-
You can add veggies like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
-
If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can substitute the ground beef with plant-based meat or mushrooms.
-
To make the soup even more creamy, you can add a splash of heavy cream or milk towards the end of cooking.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days, or can be frozen for up to a month.
