Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it up as it cooks until browned. Drain excess fat
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant
Pour in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and broth. Add Italian seasoning, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes
Increase heat to medium and add the broken lasagna noodles. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes
In a small bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, and half of the mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until combined
Serve the soup in bowls, adding a dollop of the cheese mixture and remaining mozzarella on top
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and enjoy

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute ground meat with lentils or plant-based meat alternatives.

You can make the soup ahead of time and add the noodles just before serving for best texture.
