Ingredients
- 6 ounces lasagna noodles broken into pieces, can use 6-8 ounces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¼ cup onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 cups marinara sauce 24 ounces
- 3 cups chicken broth low sodium, 24 ounces
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, 2 ounces
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded, 2 ounces
- basil optional for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and a sprinkle of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Break the lasagna noodles into 1-2 inch pieces with your hands. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente according to the package directions, usually 8-9 minutes. Drain noodles and set to the side.
- Place a tablespoon of olive oil in a second large pot or dutch oven to warm over medium heat. Add onion and ground beef to the pot. Cook breaking up the ground beef with a wooden spoon until brown and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any additional grease from the pan.
- Add in garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning to the ground beef mixture. Cook one minute over medium heat, until fragrant.
- Pour marinara sauce and chicken broth in with the ground beef mixture. Stir continuously, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place noodles in individual bowls and ladle soup over noodles. Top with mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and basil (optional). Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Garlic powder can replace fresh garlic; use 3/4 teaspoon as a substitute for 3 cloves.
- If using jarred minced garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons is appropriate to match fresh garlic flavor.
- Lasagna noodles can be broken into 1-2 inch pieces and cooked separately before adding to the soup.
