Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground meat in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles and water. Stir well.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the ricotta cheese until it melts slightly into the soup.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the beef broth with dry red wine and let it cook down before adding the tomatoes.
  • You can use ground turkey or Italian sausage instead of ground beef for variation.
  • This recipe freezes well; omit the mozzarella until reheating.
