Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Sauce

  • 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Seasoning and Cheese

  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta

  • 2 cups mini lasagna noodles or pasta of choice

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat and aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened.
  2. Add liquids and simmer: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and low-sodium chicken broth, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Season the soup: Stir in the Italian seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about five minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Cook the pasta: Add the mini lasagna noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Incorporate the ricotta cheese: In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of Italian seasoning. Swirl this mixture into the pot until evenly incorporated, enriching the soup’s texture and flavor.
  6. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese. Let the cheese melt slightly before enjoying a cheesy, comforting bowl of lasagna soup.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, replace ground beef with mushrooms or a plant-based meat substitute and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Mini lasagna noodles can be substituted with small pasta shapes like ditalini or broken lasagna sheets.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your preference, adding extra Italian herbs or red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stove or microwave.
  • Adding fresh basil or parsley garnish before serving adds a nice fresh touch.
