Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)
  • 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 over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook until soft.
  2. Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns.
  3. Once the beef is browned, add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, oregano, and tomato paste. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Pour in the tomato sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then add broken lasagna noodles. Add remaining kosher salt to taste and reduce heat to simmer until noodles are tender.
  5. Stir in heavy cream for extra richness; adjust soup thickness with additional broth if desired. For added cheesiness, mix in shredded mozzarella or parmesan directly into the soup.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each bowl with ricotta cheese, additional mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and fresh basil before serving.
