Hearty Lasagna Soup
Hearty rich lasagna soup is a cold-weather favorite.
Ingredients
1 lb hot sausage (Italian sausage may be used as well)1 lb ground beef
2 small onions, chopped into 1/2" pieces, about 2 cups worth
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 - 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
6 oz tomato paste
(2) 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes, with garlic (fire-roasted tomatoes are great, if you can find them)
8 cups chicken broth
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
6-8 oz mafalda pasta, or an alternate curly pasta
Cheese Topping Ingredients
8 oz ricotta cheese, about 1 cup
2 oz Parmesan cheese, about 1/2 cup
2 oz freshly shredded Mozzarella, about 1/2 cup
Instructions
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook and crumble the sausage and ground beef over medium-high heat. Add the onions and the garlic to cook along with the meat. Sprinkle with Italian seasonings and red pepper flakes as everything cooks.Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir and increase heat to high. When soup begins to simmer, reduce to medium-high once again and add the pasta. Stir and simmer until noodles are soft, 8-10 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust spices as needed.
Remove from the heat when the noodles are tender, but still chewy. While the pasta is cooking, stir together the ricotta, Parmesan, and Mozzarella in a small bowl.
Scoop the soup into bowls and top with a generous scoop of the cheese mixture. Enjoy!
