Description
This easy homemade lasagna soup brings the cozy, cheesy flavors of classic lasagna into a warming bowl with savory beef, rich tomato broth, and creamy ricotta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 12 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic, breaking the meat into small pieces so it browns evenly. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat. Return the pot to the stove and add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in broken lasagna noodles and reduce heat to let the soup simmer for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
- Turn heat down to low and stir in ricotta cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with remaining mozzarella and fresh basil.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. Serve with garlic bread or a simple salad.
