Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 6 dried lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  • Drain any excess fat from the beef. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente.
  • Stir in the fresh basil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the cheese mixture.
  • If desired, garnish with extra fresh basil or Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with a plant-based ground and use vegetable broth. You can also add a touch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
