Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 8 lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté 4–5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef, cooking until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in tomato paste and cook 1–2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in beef broth and bring to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and simmer 10–12 minutes until al dente.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in ricotta cheese and half the mozzarella until melted.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Garnish with basil or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use part-skim cheeses for a lighter version. Avoid overcooking the noodles—they’ll continue to soften in the soup. For a vegetarian option, swap ground beef with lentils or plant-based crumbles.
