This one-pot lasagna soup captures the rich, cheesy, and savory flavors of classic lasagna in a cozy, spoonable format. Perfect for chilly nights, it’s quick to prepare and topped with a creamy ricotta mixture that melts beautifully into the broth.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 pound ground beef (90/10)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 lasagna sheets, broken into small pieces
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  2. Prep all ingredients: grate cheeses, chop garlic and herbs, and break lasagna sheets.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and optional onion for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add ground beef and seasonings. Cook over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes until browned.
  5. Stir in marinara sauce, beef broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Add broken lasagna noodles and simmer for 15 minutes until noodles are tender.
  7. Lower heat and stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley, and basil until melted and incorporated.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and top each with a dollop of the ricotta mixture.

Notes

  • Use cottage cheese instead of ricotta for a lighter topping.
  • Substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for beef.
  • Add spinach, kale, or mushrooms during the last few minutes of cooking for extra nutrition.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • For extra richness, stir some ricotta directly into the soup before serving.
