Ingredients
1 lb Ground Beef (85/15)
8 oz Lasagna Noodles, broken into small pieces
24 oz Marinara Sauce
4 cups Low-sodium Beef Broth
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Freshly shredded Mozzarella
2 cups Fresh baby spinach
Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until fully cooked.
Drain the excess fat from the pot.
Stir in the marinara sauce and beef broth until combined.
Bring the liquid mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling broth.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for ten minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
Fold in the fresh baby spinach and stir until wilted.
Combine the ricotta and mozzarella in a small bowl to create the cheese topping.
Ladle the soup into deep bowls and top with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture.
Notes
Use high-quality ground beef for the best flavor. For a thicker consistency, you can simmer slightly longer to allow the starch from the noodles to thicken the broth. Serve with a side of toasted garlic bread if desired.
