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 and add the onion.
- Cook until it’s soft, then add the beef and sauté.
- Once the beef is browned all over, stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano, and tomato paste.
- Stir the tomato sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth.
- Bring it to a boil, then add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, or more to taste.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the noodles are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream. You can add 1-2 cups of extra chicken broth at this point to help thin it out if you want a thinner soup.
- Pro tip: Stir shredded mozzarella or parmesan right into the soup to make it extra creamy and cheesy!
- Spoon the lasagna soup into bowls and add ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese along with fresh basil on top.
- Serve and enjoy!
