Instructions
Make the Soup. Add the ground beef to a 6-quart Dutch oven or large pot set over medium-high heat. Cook until the ground beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Drain away any grease. Stir in the diced onion (if using) Stone House Seasoning, marinara sauce, parsley, oregano, basil, and broth.
Add the Noodles. Break the lasagna noodles into 2-inch pieces and stir into the soup. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir occasionally. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
Make Cheese Mixture. Mix together the ricotta, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses in a small bowl.
Serve. Ladle the soup into individual soup bowls and top with dollops of the cheese mixture on top and garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
Notes
Ingredient Swaps:
Protein Swaps: Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option or add 1/2 pound Italian sausage for additional flavor.
Spice it Up: Add crushed red pepper flakes, hot sauce or diced jalapeño to add a spicy flavor.
Creamier Broth: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream right before removing the soup from the heat and serving.
Vegetarian/ Vegan: Omit the meat and add veggies like zucchini, eggplant, or squash and swap the cheeses for a vegan variety or omit entirely.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free pasta.
Low-Carb: Swap noodles for thinly sliced zucchini, eggplant, or even cauliflower florets.
Dairy-Free: Omit or use cashew ricotta or nutritional yeast for cheeses.
Storage Instructions:
Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Prepare the soup base up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate. Cook noodles fresh when reheating to avoid mushiness. Add fresh toppings just before serving.
Freeze: Freeze the soup without noodles and cheese topping in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Add freshly cooked noodles and cheese mixture.
Meal Prep: Make the soup base and store in the fridge. Cook the noodles in a pan on the stove before serving (to avoid them being mushy) and store the cheese mixture separate. Add the freshly cooked noodles and the cheese topping when serving.
