Description
A warm, hearty bowl of soup that captures all your favorite lasagna flavors in a creamy, comforting dish perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (finely diced)
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
- 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth (more if you want a thinner soup)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided or more to taste)
- 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken into 2″ pieces)
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up as you go. Sauté until browned all over, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano, and tomato paste; cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juices), and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, followed by the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are soft.
- If you’d like a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add 1-2 additional cups of chicken broth at this point.
- Spoon the lasagna soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, along with fresh chopped basil.
- Serve warm and enjoy every comforting bite!
