Directions
Let’s get cooking with these simple steps!
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. When browned, drain off any excess grease.
Toss in the minced garlic, diced onion, seasonings, and kosher salt. Stir together and let it cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the onion softens.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream, cooking on low for another 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through.
In each serving bowl, place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese, allowing it to melt. Top with a dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.
