Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
28 oz crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth (low sodium)
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon and draining excess fat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and basil; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, then bring the mixture to a boil before reducing to a simmer.
Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until tender.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and ricotta cheese until the soup is smooth and creamy.
Top with mozzarella and parmesan, then cover the pot for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if the soup has thickened too much.
