Instructions
- Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Stir it occasionally until it’s no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Next, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté them for about 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir in the dried oregano and basil, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- While the noodles are cooking, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella and the Parmesan in a bowl.
- When the noodles are done, stir in the cheese mixture until it’s well combined.
- Finally, serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining mozzarella on top.
Notes
This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
