Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 can (28 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick® Basil Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick® Oregano Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Onion Powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 container (32 ounces) chicken stock

Noodles

  • 8 ounces (about 10) lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Toppings

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, to serve
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese, to serve

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef and cook the onions. In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown 1 pound of lean ground beef until fully cooked, then drain the fat carefully. Add 1 chopped medium yellow onion to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
  2. Add tomatoes, sauce, seasonings, and stock. Stir in one 28-ounce can of petite diced tomatoes with their juices, one 15-ounce can of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon each of dried basil leaves and oregano leaves, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pour in 32 ounces (4 cups) of chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the noodles in the soup. Once boiling, add 8 ounces broken lasagna noodles (about 10 pieces) to the pot. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the noodles are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Serve with cheeses. Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the cheesy, savory flavors of this lasagna-inspired soup.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the soup lighter.
  • Breaking the noodles into smaller pieces helps them cook quickly and makes the soup easier to eat.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable stock and omit the beef, adding mushrooms or lentils instead.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; reheat gently to prevent noodles from becoming too soft.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs like basil or parsley as a garnish for an extra fresh flavor.
