Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 23 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 cup full-fat ricotta cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking it into pieces. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes with juice, 2 cups broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles. Cook for 10–12 minutes or until noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally.
  5. If soup becomes too thick, add remaining 1 cup broth to adjust consistency.
  6. Reduce heat and stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, and chopped basil until melted.
  7. Serve hot, topped with 1 tablespoon of ricotta per bowl.

Notes

  • For vegetarian version, substitute beef with mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
  • Oven-ready noodles may absorb more liquid—adjust broth as needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze, omit noodles and cheese; add them fresh when reheating.
