How to make Lasagna Soup
Step 1: Cook the ground beef and sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned. As they cook, season the ground beef and sausage with salt and pepper. When done, drain the grease and set the meat aside.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onions to the pot and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Then, add the minced garlic and continue to cook for a to 2 minutes more.
Step 3: Add the tomato paste along with the marinara sauce, spices, and broth. Stir until blended, then add the meat back to the pot.
Step 4: Bring everything to a boil, then add the lasagna noodles that have been broken into 4ths. Adjust the heat to medium-low and cook until the noodles are tender, stirring often. If using, add the spinach at this point.
Step 5: Place the mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses in a small bowl. Mix well.
Step 6: Into bowls, ladle the soup and top with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Serve garnished with some fresh basil. Enjoy!
