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
  • 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 it is well-browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain off any excess grease to avoid a greasy soup. For deeper flavor, allow the beef to brown and develop crispy bits before draining.
  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, allowing the onion to soften and the spices to become fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
  3. Add liquids and noodles: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into approximately 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until noodles start to soften.
  4. Finish the soup: Stir frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream into the pot. Continue cooking on low heat, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the soup becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve with cheese: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each serving bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese to let it melt. Top with a dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired for an authentic lasagna flavor in every bite.

Notes

  • To enhance flavor, allow ground beef to develop crispy browned bits before draining grease.
  • Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding additional chicken broth or water as desired.
  • You can substitute frozen spinach with fresh spinach, adding it last and cooking until wilted.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make this soup gluten-free if needed.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives and use vegetable broth.
