Ingredients

Scale

Sauce and Soup Base

  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Onion (finely diced)
  • 3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 (28-ounce) can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 28 to 32 ounces Chicken Broth
  • 2 teaspoons Basil (or 2 Tablespoons fresh basil)
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes

Noodles

  • 8–10 Lasagna Noodles (broken into bite-size pieces)

Dairy and Cheese

  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream (optional)
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (divided)
  • 1 1/2 cups Ricotta Cheese
  • 3/4 cup Freshly Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the finely diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
  2. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef to the pot and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the beef is nicely browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and spices including basil, oregano, and red chili flakes. Allow the soup to simmer gently to blend flavors.
  4. Cook Lasagna Noodles: While the soup simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the broken lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. Add Cream and Cheese to Soup: Stir the heavy cream (if using) and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into the soup. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy topping.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Add the cooked noodles to the soup and stir to combine. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and top each with a generous dollop of the ricotta-parmesan cheese mixture. Garnish with fresh basil if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking noodles separately prevents them from becoming mushy in the soup.
  • Heavy cream adds richness but can be omitted for a lighter version.
  • Fresh basil garnish enhances flavor and presentation.
  • Use freshly shredded cheeses for best melting and taste.
  • Adjust red chili flakes to control spice level.
  • Leftover soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
