Instructions

How to Make Lasagna Soup

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef, cooking until browned, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then incorporate the crushed tomatoes, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
Add the beef broth to the pot; bring to a simmer while scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom.
Toss in your chosen pasta along with fresh basil and oregano. Cook according to package instructions until the pasta reaches an al dente texture, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the ricotta cheese until it’s fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy texture throughout the soup.
Ladle your hearty soup into bowls, topping each with shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Storing leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat gently on the stove.
