Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (chicken broth works great too)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6–8 lasagna noodles (broken into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Cook Garlic and Beef: Add minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pot to keep the soup from being greasy.
  3. Add Sauces and Seasonings: Stir in the marinara sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil to blend flavors and heat through.
  4. Simmer with Noodles: Break lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking.
  5. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream to give the soup a rich, velvety texture. Allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes but do not boil after adding cream.
  6. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses thoroughly until smooth, ready for serving.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Dollop each serving with the ricotta and Parmesan cheese mixture. Garnish with fresh chopped basil if desired for freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use chicken broth as a substitute to lighten the soup’s flavor.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to control spiciness according to your preference.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with plant-based meat or additional vegetables.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Letting the soup rest for a few minutes before serving helps flavors meld together beautifully.
