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:

1. 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. Once browned, drain off any excess grease.

2. Add finely minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the pot. Stir and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the onion softens and the aroma becomes fragrant.

3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles into pieces (about 2 inches each) and add them to the pot. Stir well. Raise the heat to bring soup to a boil, then reduce to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes until the noodles begin to soften.

4. Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Continue to cook on low heat, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and make the soup creamy. I suggest tasting here and adjusting salt or pepper if needed.

5. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of your serving bowl. Ladle hot soup over the cheese to let it melt. Top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy the melty goodness!

how to serve Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup

Serve the soup hot, directly from the pot into individual bowls. Pair it with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal. The melted mozzarella and dollop of ricotta make each bowl extra special and comforting.

tips to make Mouthwatering One Pot Lasagna Soup

• For an extra flavor boost, let the beef develop a nice crust before draining.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added nutrition.
• When breaking the lasagna noodles, try to get all pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.

variation (if any)

You can easily adapt this recipe to be vegetarian by omitting the ground beef and using plant-based protein or lentils instead. Swap chicken broth for vegetable broth and add more veggies like zucchini or carrots.

FAQs

1. Can I use different types of cheese?
Yes! Feel free to use any cheese you enjoy. Cheddar or a blend of Italian cheeses also works well.

2. Is there a way to make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Use gluten-free lasagna noodles and check that your broth and cheese are gluten-free.

3. Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker?
Yes! Brown the beef and sauté the aromatics in a skillet first, then transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Add the spinach and cream during the last 30 minutes.
