Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1 pound g, ground beef (or your choice of protein)
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef or vegetable broth

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Step 1: Brown the Beef
In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it's no longer pink. If you're feeling adventurous, try ground turkey or sausage for a flavorful twist!
Step 2: Add Aromatics
Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Let them sauté until fragrant, creating that irresistible base for your soup.
Step 3: Build the Base
Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef or vegetable broth. Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. This flavorful concoction will be the heart and soul of your lasagna soup.
Step 4: Simmer to Perfection
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and add the broken lasagna noodles. Let it simmer until the noodles are tender, soaking up all the delicious flavors from the pot.
Step 5: Cheesy Goodness
Once the noodles are cooked, swirl in dollops of ricotta cheese. This adds a creamy texture and that classic lasagna essence. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and let it melt into gooey perfection.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Ladle your one-pot wonder into bowls, and don't forget the finishing touch! Sprinkle fresh basil or parsley on top for a burst of freshness.
