Description
A comforting and satisfying soup that combines all the flavors of traditional lasagna with the ease of a soup.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese for topping
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Instant Pot over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic; sauté until soft.
- Introduce the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned.
- Pour in the broth and crushed tomatoes, adding Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in the broken lasagna noodles.
- If using Instant Pot, seal and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, then quick release. For stove cooking, simmer for about 20 minutes until noodles are tender.

Notes
For best results, ensure that noodles are broken into consistent pieces. Overcooking can lead to mushy noodles. Enhance flavor with a drizzle of good-quality olive oil before serving.
