This Lasagna Soup Recipe has a rich and flavorful tomato broth with beef, noodles, fresh herbs, and tons of vegetables, but the real magic is in the cheesy topping!
Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and carrot. Cook until starting to soften, about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the beef, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, and cook until the beef is browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the canned tomato, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and beef stock. Turn heat up to high and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, turn the heat down, cover the pot, and simmer until the veggies are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Turn off heat and stir in cooked pasta. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
For the Seasoned Ricotta:
Stir together all ingredients; store covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
To Serve:
Serve each bowl of soup topped with a scoop of Seasoned Ricotta and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and fresh minced parsley.
Notes
If you don’t have fresh rosemary and thyme, you can omit them and use about 2 tablespoons of dried Italian herb seasoning instead.
This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, but it does thicken upon standing. When you reheat it on the stovetop, add a splash of tomato juice or beef stock if desired.
