A comforting bowl of lasagna soup combines the beloved flavors of lasagna in a quick, hearty meal perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot, add the ground beef over medium heat. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Sprinkle in dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer the soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles into the pot and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Melt the cheese: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and well incorporated.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh basil. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Adjust the consistency by adding broth or water if the soup is too thick. Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor.
