Ingredients

• 1 TBS olive oil
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 TBS minced garlic
• 1 pound ground beef (can be subbed for italian sausage, or half and half)
• 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
• 14 oz can petite diced tomatoes
• 4-6 cups chicken broth (start with 4, add more as needed for a thinner soup)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 TBS Italian seasonings
• 10 lasagna noodles (broken into 1-2 inch pieces)

For the Cheese Topping:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Add your olive oil to a large stock pot and heat over medium high. 
2. Add in the diced onion and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions get fragrant and start to turn translucent. 
3. Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. 
4. Add in the ground beef, and cook until its cooked through, stirring often. Drain out the grease. 
5. Dump in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chicken broth (start with 4 cups), salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and broken lasagna noodles. 
6. Continue to cook as the mixture comes to a boil, and cook until the noodles are cooked through. Stir occasionally. It should take about 15-20 minutes.  Add more chicken broth as it cooks if needed for the consistency you want for the soup.

For the Cheese Topping:

1. While the soup is cooking, mix together the mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, and salt in a small bowl. 
2. Once the noodles are cooked through scoop the soup into individual bowls. 
3. Top each soup bowl with about 2 TBS of the ricotta mixture. 
4. Serve hot. Stir the cheese mixture into the soup as you eat.
