Equipment
- Large Pot
- wooden spoon
- ladle
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
- 1 can tomato paste (6 oz)
- 4 cups chicken broth (or beef broth)
- 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Then add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
- Once noodles are cooked, stir in shredded mozzarella. Simmer until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with a scoop of ricotta, a sprinkle of parmesan, and fresh basil or parsley.
Notes
Use Italian sausage instead of ground beef for extra flavor. For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add mushrooms or lentils. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of broth if it thickens too much. Serve with crusty bread or garlic knots.
