Ingredients

Scale

For the soup:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 32 oz chicken broth, more if needed
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 6 oz lasagna noodles, broken up
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For serving:

  • Ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
  • Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until well browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Once browned, drain excess grease to avoid oily soup. For deeper flavor, allow crispy browned bits to form before draining.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Season Beef: Add minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the browned beef. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to soften onions and release aromas, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Liquids, Tomato, and Noodles: Pour crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste into the pot. Break lasagna noodles into roughly 2-inch pieces and add to the pot. Stir well. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until noodles start to soften.
  4. Add Spinach and Cream, Finish Simmering: Stir in frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Continue cooking uncovered on low heat for an additional 5 minutes until spinach is heated through and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Assemble and Serve Lasagna Soup: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each serving bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese to melt it. Top with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired. The combination of cheeses gives each spoonful the classic lasagna flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the beef if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make this recipe gluten free.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and use vegetable broth instead.
  • Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less chicken broth or water.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
