Description
A cozy, cheesy one pot lasagna soup that’s done in just 30 minutes. Packed with beef, tomatoes, noodles, spinach, and topped with creamy ricotta—pure comfort in a bowl.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (90/10 for less grease)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional kick!)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14 oz) can tomato sauce
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
10 oz broken lasagna noodles
1 cup frozen spinach, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Ricotta cheese, for topping
Shredded mozzarella
Grated parmesan (optional but highly encouraged)
Instructions
1. In a large soup pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
2. Add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
3. Stir in tomato paste. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and water. Bring to a boil.
4. Break lasagna noodles into pieces and add to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 12–14 minutes until noodles are tender.
5. Add frozen spinach and heavy cream. Stir and let simmer for 2–3 more minutes.
6. Serve soup in bowls topped with ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan.
Notes
Add extra broth at the end if the soup gets too thick.
You can freeze this soup before adding the cream for future meals.
Try topping with fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
