INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Pull out a large pot and over medium-high heat, brown the sausage as well as ground beef. As you are cooking the meat; season them with salt and pepper for flavor. Once browned, please drain the grease (we know it’s a soup but do not leave the grease); and remove meat from the pot.
-
Moving on… in a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Next, sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two.
-
Now it’s time to make things “soupy!” Stir in your tomato paste, marinara sauce, spices, and chicken or vegetable broth. Also, return browned meat to pot.
-
Bring everything to boil in the pot; then add the lasagna noodles (broken into 4ths) to pot and reduce heat to medium-low and cook. While cooking, continue to stir occasionally, until noodles
are nice and tender. Add spinach, if using. -
Now… let’s get cheesy!! Take out a small bowl, then stir together the mozzarella, Parmesan and ricotta cheeses
-
Scoop the hot soup into your serving bowls, and add a generous scoop of the cheese mixture on top. Garnish with fresh basil to finish off the dish. Bon appétit!
Enjoy your soup! Wish to meal prep, or save some for later? You can!
After cooking place soup or leftovers in freezer safe containers and freeze. It should stay ready for a quick thaw meal for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, place in refrigerator to initially thaw out; then reheat soup slowly over the stove.
