Quick and Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe 2023

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 0.5 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 carton (32 oz) beef broth (made with bullion or store-bought)
  • 1 carton (32 oz) chicken broth (made with bullion or store-bought)
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) stewed tomatoes
  • 1 jar (24 oz) your favorite spaghetti sauce
  • 1 box (about 12 oz) of your chosen noodles (crushed)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Italian seasonings (oregano, garlic, etc.)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook Meat:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Prepare Broths:
    • Add both the beef and chicken broths to the pot with the cooked meat. Stir well.
  3. Add Stewed Tomatoes:
    • Pour in the can of stewed tomatoes (undrained) into the pot. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon.
  4. Stir in Spaghetti Sauce:
    • Add your favorite spaghetti sauce to the pot, stirring to combine.
  5. Season and Add Noodles:
    • Season the soup with Italian seasonings, such as oregano and garlic. Crush the noodles and add them to the pot. Stir to combine.
  6. Simmer Until Noodles are Cooked:
    • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
  7. Prepare Ricotta Mix:
    • In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Italian seasonings.
  8. Add Whipping Cream:
    • Stir in 1 cup of whipping cream into the soup, mixing well.
  9. Incorporate Ricotta Mix:
    • Add a portion of the ricotta and mozzarella mix into the soup, stirring until it’s fully incorporated. Save some for serving.
  10. Simmer and Adjust Seasoning:
    • Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional Italian seasonings if needed.
  11. Serve and Garnish:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the reserved ricotta and mozzarella mix. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
  12. Pair with Garlic Bread:
    • Serve the lasagna soup with homemade garlic bread or breadsticks for a complete and satisfying meal.
