Brown the meat In a large pot, cook the ground beef/sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onion & garlic Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Build the broth Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, Italian seasoning, basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
Cook the pasta Add broken lasagna noodles directly into the pot. Simmer until tender (about 10–12 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Prepare the cheese mixture In a small bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve Ladle soup into bowls, top with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture, and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
👉 This soup is like lasagna in a bowl—cheesy, hearty, and comforting. Perfect with garlic bread on the side!
Would you like me to also give you a slow cooker version so you can set it and forget it?
