Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth or chicken broth
  • 1 8 oz package broken lasagna noodles (or any small pasta)
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Cooking spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Ladle
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Brown the Ground Beef
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove excess grease if necessary, then add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Add the Tomatoes and Broth
  6. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juices), and beef broth. Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Cook the Pasta
  8. Once boiling, stir in the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
  9. Prepare the Cheese Mixture
  10. While the soup is simmering, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Set aside.
  11. Assemble the Soup
  12. Once the pasta is cooked, ladle the soup into bowls. Spoon a dollop of the cheese mixture into the center of each bowl. The heat from the soup will melt the cheese, creating a creamy swirl.
  13. Garnish and Serve
  14. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness of lasagna in soup form!
