Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)

Spices and Sauces

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes

Liquids and Noodles

  • 4 cups chicken broth (more if a thinner soup is desired)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided or more to taste)
  • 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked, broken into 2-inch pieces)

Cheeses and Garnish

  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics and Brown Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and sauté, breaking it apart, until it’s browned and cooked through.
  2. Add Seasonings and Tomato Paste: Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, dried oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant, allowing the tomato paste to deepen in flavor.
  3. Combine Sauces and Broth: Pour in the tomato basil pasta sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles into the boiling soup along with the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt (adjust more if needed). Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, about 12-15 minutes.
  5. Stir in Cream and Cheese: Mix in the heavy cream to enrich the soup. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add 1-2 cups additional chicken broth now. For extra creaminess, stir in some shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese directly into the soup.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with ricotta cheese, additional mozzarella, parmesan, and freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of classic lasagna in soup form!

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer vegetarian, replace beef with mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding extra fresh basil at the end amps up the herbal freshness.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • For best flavor, use freshly grated parmesan instead of pre-grated.
