Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to the noodle package directions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender. This usually takes 10 to 12 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and whole milk.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of water or broth to thin it slightly. Stir this thinned ricotta mixture into the soup base until combined.
  7. Stir in the mozzarella cheese until it melts into the soup, creating a creamy texture.
  8. Serve the soup hot. Top each bowl with a dollop of the remaining ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
  • If you prefer a less rich soup, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • You can use egg noodles instead of lasagna noodles if you do not have lasagna noodles on hand.
  • Serve this hearty Italian soup with warm garlic bread for dipping.
