Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces Break into manageable pieces for easier eating.
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken (or vegetable) broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to medium-low and let everything simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  6. Stir in the ricotta cheese until melted and well-combined. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve the lasagna soup hot, topped with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh parsley.
