Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oil

  • ½ lb lean ground beef
  • ½ lb Italian ground sausage
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • ½ cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste

Pantry and Seasonings

  • 1 (24 oz) jar red pasta sauce or marinara
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp salt (more to taste as needed)
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp crushed dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 7 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 9–10 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Greens and Cheese

  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles and brown the meat: Break the lasagna noodles into 4ths and set aside. In a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together, stirring often for about 8-10 minutes. Drain or soak up the grease with a paper towel. Once browned, transfer the meat to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic, and cook tomato paste: Add chopped onions to the same pot, adding olive oil if needed or use remaining grease. Sauté the onions for approximately 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and stir to combine. Then add tomato paste and cook it directly in the heated pot for a minute before mixing to deepen its flavor.
  3. Combine ingredients and simmer: Stir in red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, red pasta sauce or marinara, and broth. Return the browned meat to the pot. Bring the mixture to a low simmer.
  4. Add noodles and cook: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, cover, and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the noodles are tender to your liking.
  5. Add spinach and cheese: Stir in the fresh baby spinach and allow it to wilt into the soup. If desired, add more broth to adjust the soup’s consistency. Then, stir in shredded Parmesan cheese.
  6. Prepare ricotta-mozzarella topping and serve: In a small bowl, mix the ricotta and shredded mozzarella cheeses. Serve the soup hot and dollop each bowl with the ricotta-mozzarella mixture for a creamy finish. Enjoy your comforting lasagna soup!

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier option and to reduce grease.
  • The soup can be made with either beef or chicken broth depending on preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth slightly.
  • For a spicier kick, increase red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
