Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 lb Italian ground sausage
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 jar (24 oz) red pasta sauce or marinara
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 7 cups beef or chicken broth
- 9–10 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Brown the meats: In a large Dutch oven, cook ground beef and sausage over medium-high heat until browned, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: Add onion (and olive oil if needed) to the pot. Cook 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Build the flavor base: Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen flavor. Add red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme. Mix well.
- Add liquids: Pour in pasta sauce and broth. Return the browned meat to the pot and bring to a simmer.
- Cook noodles: Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
- Finish the soup: Stir in spinach and cook 1 minute until wilted. Add parmesan and stir to combine.
- Serve: In a bowl, mix ricotta and mozzarella. Ladle soup into bowls and top with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Brown tomato paste before adding liquids to intensify flavor.
- Use high-quality broth for a richer soup base.
- Stir noodles often to prevent sticking.
- Add spinach last so it stays bright and fresh.
- Storage: Keeps 4 days refrigerated or 2 months frozen (without cheese topping).
