Servings: 4
Equipment
- dutch oven or soup pot
Ingredients
- ½ lb lean ground beef *see notes
- ½ lb italian ground sausage
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 24 oz jar red pasta sauce or marinara
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp salt *more to taste as needed
- ¼ tsp black ground pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp crushed, dried, oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 7 cup beef or chicken broth
- 9-10 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 3 cup fresh baby spinach
- ½ cup shredded parmesan
- 1 cup fresh ricotta
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Break the lasagna noodles into 4ths and set aside. In a large dutch oven or deep pot, brown the meat together on medium high, stirring often (about 8-10 minutes). Soak up the grease with a paper towel in the pot, or drain the grease in the trash. Once browned, set aside in a bowl. Add the onions directly to the pot, use olive oil if needed, or you can brown it in the grease remnants .
- Sauté onions for about 5 minutes, add in minced garlic, stir. Next add in tomato paste. Let it cook directly on the heated pot for a minute before mixing it in, this gives it a much better flavor.
- Add in seasonings, red tomato sauce/marinara, broth, meat and bring it all to a low simmer. Add in the broken lasagna noodles, cover and bring down to a rough simmer for about 20 minutes or until lasagna noodles are cooked to your liking. Add the spinach last and let it wilt. If you want the mixture more soupy, add some more broth otherwise leave it as is.
- Add in Parmesan to the soup. Mix ricotta with shredded mozzarella in a small bowl. Serve the soup and dollop each bowl with ricotta mozzarella mixture. Enjoy!
Notes
*Use ground chicken or turkey for a healthier alternative or you can also use all ground beef.
*Freezing instructions: Freeze lasagna soup without the cheese. Place soup in a freezer safe container and freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat slowly on the stovetop for best flavor.
*Vegetarian Lasagna Soup: Skip sausage and ground beef and add more chopped vegetables (cooking with onion and garlic). I recommend zucchini, mushrooms, and/or yellow squash.
*This is great for meal prep and will last in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze this soup, once cooled. Add it to a freezer friendly container and freeze for up to 3 months.
