Description
A straightforward recipe for a comforting soup that tastes like lasagna.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef or sausage in a large pot over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Add basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
