Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef or plant-based ground
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or beef broth
1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the broth, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add broken lasagna noodles directly into the pot. Cook for 10–12 minutes until the noodles are tender.

- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a generous scoop of the cheese mixture.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
