2 small onions, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces, about 2 c. worth
1/2 – 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

How to make Hearty Lasagna Soup
Step 1: Cook the sausage and ground beef in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. Then, add the onions along with the garlic. As everything cooks, sprinkle them with Italian seasonings and red pepper flakes.
Step 2: To the pot, stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Adjust the heat to high and let the soup simmer. Then, decrease the heat to medium-high and add the pasta. Stir well and simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender. As needed, adjust the spices.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, and Mozzarella until well mixed.
Step 4: When the noodles are tender but still chewy, take the pot off the heat the ladle into bowls. Before serving, top each serving with a scoop of the cheese mixture. Enjoy!
