Print Recipe

A cozy comfort food that combines layers of traditional lasagna into a delightful soup form, perfect for any day of the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s shimmering, add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Then, throw in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Brown the Beef: Next, add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Once the beef is browned, pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in Lasagna Noodles: After simmering, add your broken lasagna noodles to the pot and stir well to combine. Let it simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
  5. Cheese Time!: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until well combined.
  6. Season & Serve: Taste your soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

This soup is even better the next day! The flavors deepen and all those cheesy, saucy noodles soak in the goodness. Don’t hesitate to explore variations!
