Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it's cooked through. If using ground turkey, cook until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
3. Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
4. Meanwhile, cook the broken lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set them aside.
5. Add the cooked lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Stir well to ensure the noodles are evenly distributed.
6. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb some of the flavors from the broth.
7. Just before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the soup. Cover the pot and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
8. Ladle the Lasagna Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves for a burst of freshness.
Conclusion:
There you have it, a bowl of comfort and flavor that will warm your soul! This Lasagna Soup brings together the rich and comforting elements of lasagna with the heartwarming goodness of a soup.
