Served with a medley of cheeses like ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, it delivers all the cozy satisfaction of lasagna without the fuss of layered baking.

Ingredients

Scale

For the soup:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 32 oz chicken broth, more if needed
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 6 oz lasagna noodles, broken up into about 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For serving:

  • Ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
  • Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until it is well browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain off any excess grease from the pot to prevent the soup from being too oily. For deeper flavor, allow the beef to develop some crispy browned bits before draining.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Season Beef: Add the finely minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the browned beef in the pot. Stir everything together and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the onion to soften and the aromatics to become fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Add Liquids, Tomato, and Noodles: Pour the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste into the pot with the sautéed beef and aromatics. Break the lasagna noodles into approximately 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Increase heat and bring the soup to a boil, then immediately reduce to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles begin to cook and soften.
  4. Add Spinach and Cream, Finish Simmering: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream into the soup. Continue simmering until the noodles are fully cooked and the spinach is heated through, about 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with dollops of ricotta cheese, sliced mozzarella, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired for an extra cheesy finish.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, allow the ground beef to brown well and develop crispy bits before removing excess grease.
  • If the soup becomes too thick as it simmers, add more chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or plant-based ground meat for a different protein option.
  • Ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese toppings can be adjusted or omitted according to preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding extra broth if needed.
