Lasagna Soup

Preparation

1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat from the pot.
2
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
3
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4
Break the lasagna noodles into 1-2 inch pieces and add them to the pot. Stir well to ensure the pasta is submerged and doesn't stick together. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
5
While the soup simmers, prepare the cheese topping. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6
Once the pasta is cooked, stir the fresh spinach into the soup until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
7
Ladle the hot lasagna soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the seasoned ricotta cheese mixture and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve immediately.
