Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes Add more for heat
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth More if a thinner consistency is desired
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided) Adjust to taste
  • 12 pieces lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken into 2 inch pieces)
  • ½ cup heavy cream Optional for creaminess
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent.
  3. Toss in the ground beef and sauté until browned all over.
  4. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano, and tomato paste.
  5. Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  6. Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles and the remaining teaspoon of kosher salt.
  7. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the noodles are tender.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream (if using) and adjust consistency with more chicken broth if needed.
  9. For an ultra-creamy kick, stir in some shredded mozzarella or parmesan directly into the soup.
  10. Spoon the soup into bowls, topping each with ricotta cheese, more mozzarella, parmesan, and freshly chopped basil.
  11. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 4-5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave. Add broth if it thickens too much.
