Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Soup Base
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and ground beef (or sausage) to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned, about 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Cook the Pasta
- Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
Add Cream and Cheese
- Stir in heavy cream and mozzarella cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with ricotta cheese and fresh basil. Add extra mozzarella if desired.

Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with lentils or mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
