Step-by-step instructions
Browning the meat
First, in a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary to keep things light and lovely.
Building the base
Next, into the pot goes our flavor enhancers: minced garlic, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook gently for about 5 minutes until that onion is soft and everything smells irresistible.
Adding liquids and noodles
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Break the lasagna noodles and stir them into the pot. Bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Final touches
Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream, cooking on low heat uncovered for another 5 minutes. Adjust your seasoning if required. The soup should be beautifully creamy, with noodles lovingly coated in the rich broth.
Serving it up
To serve, place a slice of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the cheese for a melty surprise. Add a dollop of ricotta, and sprinkle parmesan if you fancy an extra cheesy finish.
Recipe tips & variations
If you want to tweak this recipe, here are a few ideas:
- Vegetarian option: Swap the beef for your favorite plant-based substitute or extra veggies.
- Spice it up: A dash of chili flakes for those who like it hot.
- Make it cheesy: Try adding different cheese blends for a varied flavor profile.
Storage & reheating
Leftovers? My favorite thing! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to restore that perfect soup consistency.
FAQs
Can I freeze this soup?
Yes, but for best results, freeze it before adding the heavy cream. Add the cream when you’re ready to warm it up again.
Can I use a different type of noodle?
Sure thing! Whatever pasta you have on hand should work fine—just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Is there a low-sodium version?
Absolutely! Opt for low-sodium broth and reduce the salt as needed.
How do I make this gluten-free?
Simply swap out regular lasagna noodles for a gluten-free variety.
