A comforting soup version of classic lasagna, featuring a rich tomato broth, tender noodles, and creamy ricotta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef or Italian sausage and break it up as it browns. When the meat starts to brown, add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened.
  2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, water, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Add the broken lasagna noodles and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 8–12 minutes.
  4. Stir in the ricotta cheese until well combined, creating creamy pockets throughout the soup. Heat gently until warmed through.
  5. Ladle into bowls and top each serving with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, use part-skim ricotta and low-fat mozzarella. To make vegetarian, substitute plant-based meat or increase vegetables.
