Ingredients :

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb ground beef or turkey (lean)
• 1 small yellow onion (finely diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 8 lasagna noodles (broken into pieces)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• fresh basil or parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• extra Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Directions :

1. Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, releasing a fragrant aroma that fills your kitchen.
2. Add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Carefully remove excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pot for flavor.
4. Toss in the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, building a savory base for your soup.
5. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant, making your taste buds tingle with anticipation.
6. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the meat and onions evenly.
7. Pour in the marinara sauce, chicken broth, and crushed tomatoes. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
8. Reduce heat to medium-low. Allow the soup to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, letting those flavors harmonize beautifully.
9. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
10. If the soup gets too thick, stir in additional broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
11. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy and luscious.
12. Sample your creation and adjust the seasoning as needed to ensure every bite is perfectly delicious.
13. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped basil or parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan for that finishing touch.
14. Serve piping hot alongside garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a complete meal experience.
