Lasagna is arguably the best Italian comfort food, but making it is an all-day affair. Lasagna soup gives you that exact same flavor profile—rich meat sauce, tender noodles, and creamy cheese—in a single pot in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients You Need

• 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jar (24oz) high-quality marinara sauce
• 4 cups chicken or beef broth
• 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, brown the ground beef along with the diced onion over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat.

2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

3. Pour in the marinara sauce and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. Drop in the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally so the noodles don't stick to the bottom.

5. While the soup is cooking, mix the ricotta and mozzarella together in a small bowl.

6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each with a generous scoop of the cheese mixture. It will slowly melt into the hot broth. Serve with a crisp Hugo Spritz to balance the richness! (https://bookacookingclass.com/recipes/hugo-spritz-recipe)
