Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 pound ground beef adds richness
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth adds depth of flavor
  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes for the base
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for authentic flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese for creaminess
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated, for topping
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment. Chop the onion and bell pepper into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Measure out the spices, broth, tomatoes, pasta, and cheeses so they are ready to add as you cook.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper and cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes more, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the ground beef to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat if needed to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir well to combine with the meat and vegetables. Increase the heat to bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed, keeping in mind that flavors will deepen as the soup simmers.
  6. Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the simmering soup. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Keep the soup at a simmer, not a full boil.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the ricotta cheese until it melts into the broth and creates a creamy consistency. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the soup and stir gently until combined.
  8. Ladle the hot lasagna soup into bowls, making sure each serving has a good mix of meat, pasta, and broth. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side.
