Description
This recipe details how to prepare a one-pot lasagna soup with ground beef, tomatoes, and lasagna noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, stirring to ensure they are submerged. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, replace ground beef with plant-based ground or lentils.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The noodles will absorb more liquid over time, so you may need to add a splash of broth or water when reheating.
