In a big pot, cook the ground beef or sausage on medium heat until it's brown. Cut it into tiny pieces while it's cooking.
Put the chopped onion and crushed garlic in the pot. Cook until the onion is soft and see-through, for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chicken or beef broth, tomato sauce, and chopped tomatoes. Add the Italian seasoning, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if desired) and mix well. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
Heat the mixture until it boils, then lower the heat and let it cook gently for 15-20 minutes so the flavors can blend together.
Put the broken lasagna noodles in the soup and cook them until they are soft, which should take around 8-10 minutes.
While the noodles are cooking, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
After the noodles are ready, pour the soup into bowls and add a big spoonful of the cheese mixture on top of each serving.
Add some fresh basil or parsley on top and serve while hot.
How to Get Ready
Lasagna soup is wonderful because it is simple. Begin by cooking the meat until it turns brown and the onions and garlic become soft to create a tasty foundation. The tasty tomato soup gets even better by mixing in marinara sauce, broth, and a mix of Italian spices. Crumbled lasagna noodles are cooked in the soup, creating a simple and delicious one-pot meal. The final touch is a cheesy topping made of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan that melts into the hot soup, giving it the classic taste of lasagna without having to bake it.
