Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Cook the beef and onions:

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or sausage) and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.

Make the soup base:

  • Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and heavy cream to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.

Add the cheeses:

  • Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheeses have melted and the soup is creamy.

Serve:

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining mozzarella cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken in place of the beef or sausage, and substitute half-and-half or skim milk for the heavy cream.
  • You can add extra vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for added flavor and nutrition.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors develop even more after sitting overnight!
  • Leftovers can be reheated on the stove with a little extra broth or cream to maintain the soup's creamy texture.
