Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef or sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, lasagna noodles, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender.
- While the soup simmers, prepare the topping by mixing the ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella cheese and chopped basil in a bowl.
- Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous scoop of the ricotta mixture and remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Garnish with extra basil if desired and serve hot.
