Here’s what you’ll need for 3–4 servings:

🧅 1 small onion, finely chopped

🧄 3 garlic cloves, minced

🥩 250 g (½ lb) ground beef or Italian sausage

🍅 1 can (400 g / 14 oz) crushed tomatoes

🍅 2 tbsp tomato paste

🥣 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

🍝 6 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

🌿 1 tsp dried basil

🌿 ½ tsp oregano

🧂 Salt & black pepper to taste

For topping:

🧀 Ricotta cheese

🧀 Mozzarella, shredded

🌿 Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Fresh ingredients for homemade lasagna soup – ground beef, lasagna noodles, tomatoes, onions, garlic and cheese on a wooden countertop prepared to cook.

💡 Tip: Add a parmesan rind to your pot while the soup bubbles away! It melts slowly, layering in depth and richness, all the while giving off that unmistakable Italian fragrance that makes your house smell fantastic.

How to Make It:

Sauté the base:

In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Stir through the diced onion and cook until soft and golden. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Cook the meat:

Stir in ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, using a spoon to break it up. Drain any excess fat.

Build the soup:

Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and broth. Stir well to combine. Sprinkle with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Add noodles:

Bring to a gentle boil, and then add the broken lasagna noodles. Lower the heat and let simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until noodles are soft.

Finish and serve:

Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a dollop of ricotta, mozzarella, and fresh basil.

• Vegetarian version:

• Meal prep tip:

And if you are a fan of creamy soup, add a little splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of ricotta just before serving — it will make the soup silky and luxurious in texture.
