Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced

Base and Seasonings

  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Noodles

  • 6 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat and Sauté Aromatics: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned and crumbly, then drain excess fat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant and tender, building the flavor foundation for the soup.
  2. Add Tomatoes, Broth, and Seasonings: Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients and let the sauce base begin to develop the classic lasagna taste.
  3. Cook the Noodles in the Soup: Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them directly into the simmering mixture. Cook everything together until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the rich tomato broth.
  4. Finish with Cheeses: Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in spoonfuls of ricotta cheese to create creamy pockets throughout the soup. Serve each portion topped with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for a melty, cheesy finish.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook noodles to prevent mushy pasta; test frequently.
  • Brown the meat well for extra depth and texture.
  • Use fresh garlic and high-quality canned tomatoes for best flavor.
  • Add ricotta cheese off the heat to keep it creamy and prevent curdling.
  • Adjust herbs and spices to suit personal taste preferences.
