- 2 cups lasagna noodles (broken into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Italian blend cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Boil the broken lasagna noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the beef: In a large dutch oven, cook the lean ground beef over medium heat until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

- Add sauces and broth: Pour in the marinara sauce and reduced sodium beef broth, stirring well to mix.
- Season the soup: Stir in the Italian seasoning for a balanced Italian flavor.
- Add noodles: Stir in the drained cooked lasagna noodles, making sure they are evenly distributed in the soup.
- Simmer soup: Let the soup simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing all ingredients to meld together.
- Add cheeses: About 5 minutes before serving, spoon in dollops of ricotta cheese and sprinkle shredded Italian blend cheese on top.
- Melt cheese and serve: Cover the pot and let the cheese melt for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting lasagna-inspired soup.
Notes
- This soup can be made ahead and reheated gently.
- For a lower fat option, use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- Gluten-free noodles can be used to make the soup gluten-free.
- Add fresh basil or parsley as garnish for added flavor and color.
- Adjust Italian seasoning and garlic to taste depending on your preference.
