How I Make my Favorite LASAGNA SOUP it’s Quick & Easy!!!

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese provides a similar texture with fewer calories.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella has less fat, while cheddar is often more affordable.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a low-calorie alternative, while pecorino can be less expensive.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, and ground pork is often cheaper.

Add a little bit of oil to a pot over medium high heat and allow it to heat up.

Once hot, add 1 small onion and 1 small red bell pepper and sauté for 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of fresh basil along with 4 minced garlic cloves, mix, and sauté for 30 seconds.

Add ground beef and spices, break it down, and cook for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, remove any excess fat from the meat.

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and mix it in.

Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and 6 cups of beef broth, mix, and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, remove the top layer of the broth and taste for salt, adjusting as needed.

Add calavita and broken lasagna noodles, mix, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes or until noodles are tender.

Once noodles are tender, serve the soup over ricotta cheese in a bowl and top with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, along with fresh parsley and basil.
