Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ib Ground beef
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 28 oz can Crushed tomatoes
  • 4 Cups Beef broth
  • 12 noodles Lasagna noodles
  • 1 Tsp Dried basil
  • 1 Tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 Tsp Red pepper flakes
  • ToTaste Salt and pepper
  • 1 Cup Ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 Cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Cook the Ground Meat: In a large pot, brown the ground beef (or turkey) over medium heat. Once cooked, drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it brown.
  3. Build the Soup Base: Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring the soup to a simmer, stirring to combine.
  4. Add the Noodles: Stir in the broken lasagna noodles and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are al dente. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom.
  5. Make it Creamy: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the ricotta cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
  6. Serve & Top: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Make it Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño when sautéing the garlic to bring some heat to the soup. It will balance the creamy, cheesy layers with a little kick.
  • Add Extra Veggies: For a more nutrient-packed meal, feel free to throw in some chopped spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers. They’ll add extra texture and color to your soup.
  • For a Creamy Twist: If you want an even creamier finish, a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream added at the end can really take it up a notch.
  • Customize the Protein: Swap out the beef for ground turkey, chicken, or even a vegetarian option like lentils or plant-based crumbles to suit your dietary preferences.
  • Leftover Magic: As the soup sits, the flavors continue to develop, so don't hesitate to make it a day ahead. It's an even better dish the next day after the ingredients have had time to mingle.
