Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (or Italian sausage, or a mix)
  • 1 28 ounce can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 15 ounce can Tomato Sauce
  • 1 15 ounce can Diced Tomatoes undrained
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 15 ounce container Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 9 Lasagna Noodles broken into 1-inch pieces (oven-ready noodles work best, no pre-cooking needed)
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese grated (optional, for topping)

Equipment

  • Large Stockpot or Dutch Oven
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and ground beef; cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, heavy cream, and lasagna noodles. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the soup has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).

Notes

For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
