Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Beef (Ground)
- 1 lb Italian Sausage (Ground)
- 10 Lasagna Noodles
- 1 Onion (Chopped)
- 24 oz Jar of Pasta Sauce
- 4 tsp Garlic (Minced)
- 8 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 14 oz Can Diced Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tsp Basil
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 Bay Leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Meat: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, Italian sausage, and chopped onion. Cook until the meat is completely browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté Garlic: Return the pot to the stove and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn.
- Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, sugar, balsamic vinegar, basil, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a Boil: Cover the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add Noodles: Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the soup. Stir to ensure the noodles are submerged in the broth.
- Cook the Noodles: Simmer the soup for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Serve: Remove the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, or ricotta. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the ground beef and sausage with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth or add a bit more tomato paste.
- Make sure to break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly in the soup.
- This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
