Add 1 and 1/2 cups of ricotta to a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan to the bowl.

Crack in 1 egg and season with basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the ricotta mixture well, cover it, and place it in the fridge.

In a pot over medium high heat, add 1 pound of ground beef and break it up.

Add 1/2 of a small diced onion and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned.

Add 5 minced garlic cloves and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste to the pot and cook for 1 minute.

Season the meat with cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, basil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Mix the beef well and pour in a 24 oz jar of spaghetti sauce.

Fill the jar with chicken stock and pour that into the meat, along with 1 more cup of chicken stock.

Stir the mixture and turn the heat up to high to bring the soup to a boil.

Break up 8 to 10 lasagna sheets and add them to the boiling soup.

Mix to ensure the pasta is covered in broth, then lower the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the pasta is tender, add 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream.

Lower the heat and add 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella.

Season with more thyme, oregano, salt, basil, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.

Mix everything thoroughly until combined.

Tear up a few pieces of basil and stir them in.

Scoop in 3 to 4 spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture and gently swirl it in.

Once combined, the lasagna soup is done and ready to enjoy.
