Add some olive oil to a dutch oven or pot, add chopped yellow onion, Italian seasoning, all purpose rub, dried oregano and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes.
Sauté the onions until the turn translucent and add in minced garlic and tomato paste. Mix the ingredients together and cook for 1-2 minutes
Make an empty space in the middle of the dutch oven by moving the sautéed veggies around the sides and place the meat in the middle, searing it before breaking it down.
Cook until it gets that deep, caramelized color.
Add in the marinara sauce of choice and beef broth. Gently mix the ingredients and bring everything to a boil.
Break the lasagna pasta into rough, rustic pieces and drop them directly into the simmering pot. Cook until they are al dente.
Add the heavy cream, 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, freshly chopped basil and give it one more mix and let it simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, add ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella and freshly chopped parsley. Mix the ingredients together.
Ladle a few scoops of the Lasagna soup in a bowl, add a dollop of the ricotta cheese mixture, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy.
Notes
Want to change the protein. Replace beef and Italian sausage with just beef or sausage, chicken or skip protein all together.Don’t overcook the noodles. They’ll soften as the soup sits.Add the cheese right before serving so it stays creamy, not blended.Too thick or creamy? Add more broth.Meal prepping? Cook the noodles separately to keep them from soaking up the broth overnight.
