How to Make Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 32 oz chicken broth, more if needed
- 1 cup water
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 6 oz lasagna noodles, broken up
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Ricotta cheese
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
- Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions:
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it is well-browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease to keep the soup from being too oily. For more flavor, let the beef get crispy bits before draining.
- Add the finely minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the pot. Stir together and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the onion softens and aromas fill the air. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Raise the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles soften.
- Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Cook on low heat, uncovered, for another 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust the salt or pepper if needed.
- Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of your serving bowl. Ladle the hot lasagna soup over the cheese, letting it melt. Top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if using. Enjoy the classic lasagna flavor in each bite!
