Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Mix in tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and broth, stirring to combine.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavor.
  5. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook for 10–12 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  6. Stir in half of the basil and adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and top each with a spoonful of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and grated Parmesan.
  8. Garnish with remaining fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use Italian sausage for added flavor or ground turkey for a lighter version.
  • For a creamier soup, stir in a splash of cream before serving.
  • Can be made ahead — store noodles separately to prevent over-softening.
