how to make Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
14 oz can crushed tomatoes
32 oz chicken broth, more if needed
1 cup water
2 tsp tomato paste
6 oz lasagna noodles, broken up
1 cup frozen chopped spinach
1/4 cup heavy cream
Ricotta cheese
4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut in slices
Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until well-browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease from the pot.
Add the minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper to the browned beef. Stir and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the onion softens and the aromatics become fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into about 2-inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well to mix everything. Raise the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles begin to cook and soften.
Stir in the frozen spinach and heavy cream. Cook on low heat, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust the salt or pepper if needed.
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in each serving bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese and let it melt. Top with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired.
