Equipment
Method
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef or sausage over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, water, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Ladle the lasagna soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil.
Notes
For best results, cook the lasagna noodles separately and add them to the soup at the end to prevent them from becoming overcooked. Stirring in the cheese right before serving will give you the perfect creamy texture.
