Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until the meat is cooked through. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add crushed tomatoes, broth, oregano, and basil. Bring everything to a simmer.
  3. Stir in the broken lasagna noodles and cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve hot, topped with mozzarella and dollops of ricotta cheese.

Notes

This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. It freezes well for up to 3 months. Pair with garlic bread or a simple salad for a complete meal. For a vegan version, replace beef with lentils or chickpeas and use coconut milk instead of cheese.
