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
  • 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 well-browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Once browned, drain excess grease, leaving some browned bits for deeper flavor if desired.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Season Beef: Add minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to the browned beef. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the onion softens and the aromatics become fragrant.
  3. Add Liquids, Tomato, and Noodles: Pour in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces and add them. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until noodles begin to soften.
  4. Add Spinach and Cream, Finish Simmering: Stir in frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Continue cooking uncovered on low heat for 5 more minutes until spinach is heated through and soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble and Serve Lasagna Soup: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of serving bowls. Ladle hot soup over the cheese to melt it. Top with a dollop of ricotta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy the classic lasagna flavor in a cozy soup form.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, allow the ground beef to develop crispy browned bits before draining.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or simmer uncovered longer.
  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the beef.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preferences during the final step.
  • Adding fresh basil on top before serving can enhance the Italian flavor.
