Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 15 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
Creamy Layer
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
  • fresh basil or parsley, chopped for garnish
  • extra Parmesan cheese for topping

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add marinara sauce, chicken broth, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes to develop flavor.
  5. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook until tender, about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if needed.
  6. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs and extra Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

This soup thickens as it sits. Add a splash of broth when reheating to loosen the texture.
