6 cups beef broth (certified gluten-free)
28 oz crushed tomatoes

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup ricotta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

Drain excess fat from the pot.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in beef broth and crushed tomatoes.

Notes
Ensure your beef broth is certified gluten-free as some commercial stocks contain hidden gluten additives. For extra richness, you can stir a handful of fresh spinach into the soup during the last minute of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; note that gluten-free noodles may soften further upon reheating.
