Make the comforting flavor of lasagna in a simple, quick soup format using one pot on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground meat in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles and the water. Stir well.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in half of the ricotta cheese until it melts slightly into the soup base.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the remaining ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, brown the meat and sauté the onion/garlic separately. Transfer all ingredients except the noodles and cheeses to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. Add the broken noodles during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the ground beef.
  • Make ahead: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The noodles will absorb liquid, so you may need to add extra broth when reheating.
