A hearty, creamy lasagna soup with all the flavors of traditional lasagna—savory meat, rich tomato broth, noodles, and gooey cheese—in a cozy, one-pot meal.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground beef
½ lb Italian sausage
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken or beef broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup ricotta cheese
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown the ground beef and sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Mix in tomato paste, then add crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then add lasagna noodles. Simmer for 12–15 minutes until noodles are tender.
Remove bay leaf, stir in heavy cream and half the Parmesan cheese.
Ladle into bowls and top with ricotta, mozzarella, and remaining Parmesan. Garnish with herbs.
