  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces Can use regular or whole wheat

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. Add the dried basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and continue simmering for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  6. Stir in the ricotta cheese and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, stir occasionally while simmering to prevent noodles from sticking. Avoid overcooking the noodles; check for doneness frequently.
