Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped finely
- ½ pound Italian sausage
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 15-ounces can petite diced tomato
- 1 28-ounces can crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken broth low-sodium if preferred, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 8 lasagna noodles broken into bite-size pieces
- 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 8 – 12 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons of fresh basil plus more to garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for about 4 minutes or until the onions start to soften. Add the sausage and ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally until browned. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning and dried oregano. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- While the soup simmers, cook the lasagna noodles in a separate pot according to package directions until al dente (you want the pasta tender but not overly soft as it will be added to the soup).
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan and ricotta cheese. Set aside.
- Stir the cooked lasagna noodles into the soup along with the fresh basil. Thin the soup with additional broth, if desired.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.

Notes
