Instructions:
Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the ground beef or Italian sausage. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks to achieve a crumbly texture.
Add Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Seasoning: Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the seasonings to meld with the meat and vegetables for about 2-3 minutes.
Tomato Base: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce, stirring well to combine with the meat mixture. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Broth and Water: Add the beef or vegetable broth and water to the pot, stirring to incorporate. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Add Lasagna Noodles: Once the soup is boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Stir well to create a creamy cheese mixture.
Finish and Serve: Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a generous dollop of the cheese mixture, allowing it to melt into the hot soup. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
Enjoy: Serve the One-Pot Lasagna Soup hot, with additional grated Parmesan on the side if desired. Pair it with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
