Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef or Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the dried oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes if using.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the broken lasagna noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to heat through. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Add dollops of the cheese mixture into the soup, stirring gently to incorporate.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
