Servings: 5 - 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
- 8 lasagna noodles broken into quarters
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional, for topping:
- Fresh chopped basil
- Ricotta cheese
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, brown and crumble the beef until cooked, about 7 - 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside the beef.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to your pot. Once hot, add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 - 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the tomato paste.
- Add the cooked beef, broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the pot. Stir to mix.
- Bring the pot to a boil and add the noodles, roughly broken into fourths. Lightly boil, uncovered, for 8 - 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked. Stir occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pot and keeping the noodles submerged.
- Stir in the mozzarella and until melted. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add additional chicken broth if a thinner soup is desired.
- Serve immediately, optionally topped with chopped fresh basil, ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese.
