Equipment

  • dutch oven or soup pot

Ingredients
  

Meat

  • 0.5 lb lean ground beef see notes
  • 0.5 lb italian ground sausage

Vegetables

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 0.5 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3 cup fresh baby spinach

Sauces and Broths

  • 24 oz red pasta sauce or marinara
  • 7 cup beef or chicken broth

Seasonings

  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt more to taste as needed
  • 0.25 teaspoon black ground pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed, dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Pasta and Cheese

  • 9-10 pieces uncooked lasagna noodles, broken
  • 0.5 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1 cup fresh ricotta
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Break the lasagna noodles into 4ths and set aside. In a large dutch oven or deep pot, brown the meat together on medium high, stirring often (about 8-10 minutes). Soak up the grease with a paper towel in the pot, or drain the grease in the trash. Once browned, set aside in a bowl.
  • Add the onions directly to the pot, use olive oil if needed, or you can brown it in the grease remnants.
  • Sauté onions for about 5 minutes, add in minced garlic, stir. Next add in tomato paste. Let it cook directly on the heated pot for a minute before mixing it in.

Cooking

  • Add in seasonings, red tomato sauce/marinara, broth, meat and bring it all to a low simmer. Add in the broken lasagna noodles, cover and bring down to a rough simmer for about 20 minutes or until lasagna noodles are cooked to your liking.
  • Add the spinach last and let it wilt. If you want the mixture more soupy, add some more broth otherwise leave it as is.
  • Add in Parmesan to the soup. Mix ricotta with shredded mozzarella in a small bowl. Serve the soup and dollop each bowl with ricotta mozzarella mixture.

Notes

Use ground chicken or turkey for a healthier alternative or you can also use all ground beef. Freezing instructions: Freeze lasagna soup without the cheese. Place soup in a freezer safe container and freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat slowly on the stovetop for best flavor. Vegetarian Lasagna Soup: Skip sausage and ground beef and add more chopped vegetables (cooking with onion and garlic). I recommend zucchini, mushrooms, and/or yellow squash. This is great for meal prep and will last in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze this soup, once cooled. Add it to a freezer friendly container and freeze for up to 3 months.
