Ingredients

  • For the Ricotta Topping:
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • For the Lasagna Soup:

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter)
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 8 lasagna sheets, broken into pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

  3. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart. Season with Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  6. Stir in parsley, basil, Parmesan, and mozzarella until melted.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and top with dollops of ricotta mixture. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter version.

  • For spice, add more red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • Leave out beef or use plant-based ground for vegetarian.
