Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

4 cups beef broth

1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

8-10 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef (or sausage) over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

      Cook the Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, stir well, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.

        Prepare the Cheese Mixture: While the noodles cook, in a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Mix well and set aside.

          Combine and Serve: Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Spoon scoops of the cheese mixture into bowls of the lasagna soup, letting it melt slightly. Top each serving with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

            Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your warm and comforting lasagna soup!
