Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 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)

Noodles

  • 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken into 2″ pieces)

Cheeses and Garnishes

  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Sauté aromatics and beef: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven and add the finely diced onion. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the ground beef and sauté until browned all over. Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, dried oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add liquids and simmer: Pour in the tomato basil pasta sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot along with the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or adjust seasoning to taste. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
  3. Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream to enrich the soup. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add 1-2 cups extra chicken broth at this point. For extra creaminess and cheesy flavor, you can also stir in some shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese directly into the soup.
  4. Serve and garnish: Ladle the hot lasagna soup into bowls and top each serving with dollops of ricotta cheese, additional shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped basil. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors.

Notes

  • Breaking the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces helps them cook evenly and makes the soup easier to eat.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your desired spice level or omit them for a milder soup.
  • Heavy cream is optional but adds a wonderful richness; you can substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • The soup thickens as it cools — add extra broth when reheating if needed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
