Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
- 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 desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or a simple salad. Perfect for storing leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
