Equipment

  • large pot
  • dutch oven

Ingredients
  

Soup

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth more if you want a thinner soup
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided or more to taste
  • 12 lasagna noodles uncooked and broken into 2" pieces
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream optional

Garnishes

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven and add the onion. Cook until it’s soft, then add the beef and sauté. Once the beef is browned all over, stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano and tomato paste.
  • Stir the tomato sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Add remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, or more to taste. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the noodles are tender.
  • Stir in the heavy cream. You can add 1-2 cups extra chicken broth at this point to help thin it out if you want a thinner soup. Pro tip: Stir shredded mozzarella or parmesan right into the soup to make it extra creamy and cheesy!
  • Spoon the lasagna soup into bowls and add ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese along with fresh basil on top. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Dried lasagna noodles are best. Oven ready lasagna noodles will be way too soft when boiled in the soup. If you don’t have lasagna noodles, use any long or short pasta noodles you love!
