Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves 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
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 14 oz tomatoes crushed
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 6 oz lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 cup frozen spinach chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Break it into small pieces as it cooks, then drain excess grease.
  • Add garlic, onion, and all seasonings to the beef. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion softens and everything smells fragrant.
  • Pour in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
  • Add broken lasagna noodles and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach and heavy cream. Continue cooking uncovered for 5 minutes until heated through and creamy.
  • To serve, place a slice of mozzarella in each bowl. Ladle hot soup over it so it melts.
  • Top with ricotta and sprinkle with parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Add extra broth when reheating, as the noodles will soak up liquid over time.
  • For best texture, avoid overcooking the noodles so they don’t become too soft.
