How to Make Easy Lasagna Soup
Brown the Meat : In a large pot, over medium heat, add the ground beef or sausage. Cook it until it’s browned, breaking it up as it cooks about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add Aromatics : Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté them together for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, it’s the kind of smell that feels like home!
Stir in the Good Stuff : Now, stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, broth, broken lasagna noodles, dried basil, and oregano. Don’t forget a couple of pinches of salt and pepper! Bring everything to a boil; that’s when the magic happens!
Let It Simmer : Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick (those yummy bits on the bottom are a must!).
Add Ricotta : After the noodles are cooked through, you’ll want to stir in the ricotta cheese until it’s well combined. You can adjust the thickness by adding more broth if you like your soup a bit thinner!
Serve It Up! : Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top generously with shredded mozzarella. Don’t forget a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top for that fancy touch!
