How to make Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup

Ingredients :

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
Ricotta cheese
4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions :

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until it is well-browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain off any excess grease to keep the soup from being too oily. For deeper flavor, let the beef develop some crispy browned bits before draining.
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 in the pot. Stir everything together and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. This will let the onion soften and the aromatics become fragrant. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Pour the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste into the pot with the sautéed beef and aromatics. Break the lasagna noodles into pieces (about 2 inches each) and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles begin to cook and soften.
Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream to the simmering soup. Continue to cook on low heat, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the soup is creamy. Let the flavors meld together during these last few minutes. Taste and adjust the salt or pepper if needed.
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of your serving bowl. Ladle the hot lasagna soup over the cheese, allowing it to melt. Top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if using. The mixed cheeses give a classic lasagna flavor to each bite.

How to serve Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup

Serve the soup hot in bowls, topped with ricotta and parmesan cheese. Pair it with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal. You can also add some fresh basil for extra flavor.

How to store Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup

Let any leftovers cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store the soup in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stove or in the microwave until heated through. If the soup thickens in the fridge, feel free to add a little chicken broth or water when reheating.
