Ingredients
Soup:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
- 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth, more if you want a thinner soup
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided or more to taste
- 12 lasagna noodles, uncooked and broken into 2″ pieces
- ½ cup heavy cream, optional
Garnishes:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 6 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven and add the onion. Cook until it’s soft, then add the beef and sauté until browned.
2. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the tomato basil pasta sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
4. Add the broken lasagna noodles and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Reduce heat and simmer until noodles are tender.
5. Stir in the heavy cream. For a thinner soup, add 1–2 more cups of chicken broth if desired.
6. Optional: Stir shredded mozzarella or parmesan directly into the soup to make it extra creamy and cheesy.
7. Spoon the soup into bowls and top with ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan, and chopped fresh basil.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Use traditional dried lasagna noodles—oven-ready noodles tend to overcook and become mushy in soup.
Add extra broth if the soup thickens too much as it sits.
Customize the garnishes to taste—mozzarella, ricotta, and basil bring classic lasagna flavors.
This soup is great for meal prep and tastes even better the next day.
If using the Instant Pot or slow cooker, reduce the amount of broth slightly and cook pasta separately to avoid overcooking.
