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 in 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 from the pot to prevent the soup from being too oily. For extra flavor, allow some crispy browned bits to form before draining.
  2. Sauté aromatics and spices: Add the finely 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 release their aroma. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Add liquids and noodles: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into roughly 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil.
  4. Simmer the soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles start to soften.
  5. Add spinach and cream: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. 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.
  6. Serve with cheeses: 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 bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if desired, to evoke the classic lasagna flavor in every bite.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • You can adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more chicken broth or water if it becomes too thick while simmering.
  • For added flavor, try finishing the soup with fresh basil or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
