Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Soup Base

  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (chicken broth works great too)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Pasta and Cheese

  • 6–8 lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces (about 2-inch)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh basil, chopped (optional when serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, to build a flavorful base.
  2. Cook the Beef and Garlic: Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the beef is browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat before proceeding.
  3. Add Liquids and Seasonings: Stir in marinara sauce, beef broth, salt, black pepper, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a boil to develop the soup flavor.
  4. Cook the Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into approximately 2-inch pieces and add them to the boiling soup. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until noodles are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream for a richer, smoother texture.
  6. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and dollop generously with the ricotta-Parmesan mixture. Garnish with fresh chopped basil if desired for added freshness and aroma.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth for beef broth for a lighter soup.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to taste for desired spiciness.
  • For a vegetarian option, consider substituting ground beef with mushrooms or plant-based protein and use vegetable broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the broth by simmering longer before adding noodles.
  • The soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid curdling the cream.
