Description
A straightforward recipe for a hearty soup that tastes like lasagna.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Brown the ground meat in a large pot over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling soup. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the ricotta cheese until it melts into the soup.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
