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 into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For Serving:

  • Ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 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 as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease to prevent the soup from being too oily. For deeper flavor, allow some crispy browned bits to develop before draining.
  2. Sauté aromatics and seasonings: Add the minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the browned beef. Stir together and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, letting the onion soften and the aromatics become fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Add tomatoes, broth, noodles, and simmer: Pour in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Add broken lasagna noodles and stir to combine. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until noodles begin to cook and soften.
  4. Incorporate spinach and cream: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Continue to cook uncovered on low heat for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as needed.
  5. Serve with cheese: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each serving bowl. Ladle hot lasagna soup over the cheese, allowing it to melt. Top with a dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired for an authentic lasagna flavor in every spoonful.

Notes

  • Be sure to break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces to cook evenly in the soup.
  • Adjust the amount of chicken broth if you prefer a thinner or thicker soup consistency.
  • Use full-fat dairy products like heavy cream and cheeses for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • If you want to make this vegetarian, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
