Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground Italian sausage (or ground beef)
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground Italian sausage (or ground beef) over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if needed.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot with the browned meat and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Cook the Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into small pieces and add them to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
5. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: While the soup is simmering, in a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. This creamy cheese mixture will add richness and a hint of tanginess to the soup.
6. Serve: Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
