Ingredients
Method
- Cook ground beef or Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat for about 6 minutes until browned, breaking the meat apart with a spatula.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and stir frequently for approximately 3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in canned diced tomatoes with their juices and chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer while scraping the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes until the noodles are tender.
- Reduce the heat to low, add dollops of ricotta and shredded mozzarella, and stir gently to keep the creamy pockets intact.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes
Meat Choice: I usually go for a spicy Italian sausage because it adds a punch of heat that cuts through the creamy cheese perfectly.
Noodle Texture: I've learned the hard way to break
