Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp olive oil (if using ground turkey)
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or Italian sausage (or turkey)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ¼ tsp dried rosemary
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground meat until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon, and drain the excess grease.
  2. Transfer the browned meat to a slow cooker. Add the onion, garlic, broth, marinara, diced tomatoes, basil, parsley, onion powder, oregano, rosemary, and red pepper flakes, then stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the flavors develop and the onions soften.
  4. Stir in the broken lasagna noodles during the final 30–45 minutes of cooking. Ensure the noodles are submerged in liquid, then cover and cook on HIGH until al dente.
  5. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and grated parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust the flavor as needed.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta, sprinkle with mozzarella, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Use ground turkey or sausage instead of beef. Omit meat for a vegetarian version. Substitute chicken or vegetable broth. Use rotini or penne if you don’t have lasagna noodles. Ricotta can be mixed with cream cheese for extra richness. Add spinach or mushrooms for more veggies.
