Description
A hearty, protein-packed lasagna soup made with lean ground beef, Italian spices, and ricotta for a healthy comforting meal.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground beef
½ cup minced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups low sodium beef broth
2 cups water
2 cups reginetti pasta or broken lasagna noodles
Ricotta & Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
2. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent.
3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, herbs, broth, and water. Bring to a boil.
4. Add pasta and cook half the recommended time, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat; let sit uncovered for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
6. Discard bay leaf, serve hot with ricotta and Parmesan.
Notes
Slightly undercook pasta—it continues cooking in the broth.
Store leftovers separately to maintain texture.
Freeze portions up to 3 months for quick meal prep.
