Ingredients

For the Soup

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups bow tie pasta
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Gather all ingredients before you start cooking for a smoother experience.

Instructions

Cook the Beef

In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.

Add the Tomatoes and Broth

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Cook the Pasta

Add the bow tie pasta to the soup and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Finish with Cheese

Once cooked, stir in the ricotta and mozzarella cheese until melted and combined.

Serve hot and top with additional mozzarella if desired.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Leftover Homemade Lasagna Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you plan to keep it longer, consider freezing individual portions. Simply let the soup cool before transferring it to freezer-safe containers, and it will be good for up to 3 months.

When reheating, it's best to warm the soup gently on the stove over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating and avoid scorching. You can also add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the soup if it thickens while stored.

Serving Suggestions

For a complete meal experience, serve your lasagna soup with warm, buttery garlic bread or a fresh side salad. A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley on top right before serving adds a burst of color and freshness, enhancing the soup's visual appeal and flavor.

Pair this cozy dish with a glass of red wine or a refreshing iced tea to complement the rich, savory flavors. These simple additions can elevate your dining experience and make your meal feel even more special.
