All the comforting flavors of classic lasagna transformed into a hearty, one-pot soup with rich tomato broth, tender pasta, savory beef, and melty cheese.

Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon – Starts your base and helps bloom the aromatics.
  • Yellow Onion: 1 medium, diced – Adds sweetness and depth.
  • Garlic Cloves: 4, minced – Brings bold, savory aroma.
  • Ground Beef: 1 pound – Meaty heart of the soup.
  • Crushed Tomatoes: 1 can (28 ounces) – Tangy tomato body for the broth.
  • Tomato Paste: 2 tablespoons – Intensifies the umami.
  • Beef Broth: 4 cups – The savory base for your soup.
  • Lasagna Noodles: 8 broken pieces – The pasta twist that makes it lasagna.
  • Italian Seasoning: 2 teaspoons – Herbaceous punch.
  • Red Pepper Flakes: 1/2 teaspoon – Optional, for a little heat.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon – Balances all the flavors.
  • Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon – Adds a subtle bite.
  • Ricotta Cheese: 1/2 cup – Creamy topping.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup, shredded – Melts into cheesy magic.
  • Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup, grated – Adds salty richness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat your pot over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add diced onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour in the beef broth and bring everything to a gentle boil.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Stir in broken lasagna noodles and reduce to a simmer. Cook until noodles are tender, about 12 minutes.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Taste and adjust seasoning. Let the soup bubble gently until the flavors marry and the broth slightly thickens.
  6. Finishing Touches: In a small bowl, mix ricotta with a pinch of salt. Shred the mozzarella and grate your Parmesan.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle soup into bowls and top with a spoonful of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add fresh basil if you’ve got it.

Notes

  • Cook pasta separately and add when serving to prevent mushiness.
  • Add fresh basil or spinach for extra brightness and nutrition.
  • Use Italian sausage instead of beef for a spicy twist.
  • Freezes well without the noodles—just add fresh when reheating.
