Description
A hearty and comforting lasagna soup that combines all the rich flavors of traditional lasagna into a delicious one-pot meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Ricotta cheese
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
- Parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until it is well-browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain off any excess grease.
- Add the minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well, cooking for about 5 minutes over medium-low heat until the onion is soft and fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into about 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Mix everything together, then bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Keep cooking on low, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is warm and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
- In serving bowls, place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese, allowing it to melt. Top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
This soup is best served hot, paired with crusty bread or a simple salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
