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 and brown it well. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks and drain any excess grease.
- Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Add the broken lasagna noodles, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Cook on low heat, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- In each serving bowl, place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom, ladle the hot soup over it, and top with a dollop of ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
Quality beef enhances the flavor; consider using lean ground beef or alternatives like turkey. Adjust seasonings to taste before serving.
