Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, optional
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, for topping
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Stir well to prevent sticking.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. If using spinach, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking until wilted.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with 1 cup of cooked brown or green lentils, or 10 ounces of plant-based ground crumbles added with the onions.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, use only 3 cups of beef broth instead of 4.
  • You can use dried herbs or fresh herbs; use 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano and 1 tablespoon of fresh basil if available.
