Method
Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper, mixing well.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles and frozen spinach to the pot. Continue to simmer until noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the cream to enrich the soup's texture and taste.
Serving
- Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each with dollops of ricotta cheese and slices of mozzarella. Optionally add parmesan cheese for garnish.
Notes
Customize the soup by adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. For a kick of heat, add red pepper flakes when sautéing the beef. To make it vegetarian, substitute ground beef with lentils or a meat alternative. Can use different types of noodles or cheeses based on preference.
