Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Broth & Tomato Base

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef or chicken broth

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Pasta

  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley or basil

Instructions

  1. Sauté Meat and Aromatics: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and soft.
  2. Add Flavor Base: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor. Then pour in the crushed tomatoes, low-sodium broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Cook Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles directly into the simmering soup. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender but not mushy, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Prepare Cheese Mixture: While the noodles cook, in a small bowl blend together the ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil before serving to add freshness and color.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with mushrooms or a plant-based meat substitute and use vegetable broth.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level, or omit for a milder soup.
  • Leftover soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days but add fresh cheese topping before serving each time.
  • This soup freezes well; omit adding the noodles if planning to freeze, then cook fresh noodles when reheating.
