Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 32 oz chicken broth, more if needed
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 6 oz lasagna noodles, broken up (about 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For Serving:

  • Ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into slices
  • Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until well-browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain off any excess grease to prevent the soup from being too oily. Allow beef to develop crispy browned bits if desired for deeper flavor.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the browned beef. Stir together and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the onions soften and the mixture is fragrant. Stir often to avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Add Liquids and Noodles: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and stir well to combine. Increase heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles begin to soften.
  4. Add Spinach and Cream: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Continue cooking uncovered on low for another 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve with Cheese: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of each serving bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese allowing it to melt. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy the classic lasagna flavor in every comforting spoonful.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with plant-based meat alternatives and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • For a lower-fat option, use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream and lean ground beef or ground turkey.
  • Adjust the amount of salt according to your taste and dietary preferences, especially if using low-sodium broth.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat well on the stovetop or microwave.
