Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the Italian sausage over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup and cook until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  7. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with a spoonful of the ricotta cheese mixture and fresh basil.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a splash of heavy cream at the end. You can also use ground beef or turkey instead of Italian sausage.
