Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
28 oz crushed tomatoes
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat until fully cooked.
Drain the excess fat from the pot.
Add the diced onions and sauté until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and simmer for 10-12 minutes until pasta is tender.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of ricotta and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
Notes
Use gluten-free lasagna noodles if required. For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; add a splash of broth when reheating as noodles will absorb liquid.
