Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
  • 1 lb chicken sausage casing removed, or chopped fully cooked chicken sausage
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 5-6 cups chicken broth 5 cups for extra thick soup
  • 8 regular lasagna noodles broken into 6 pieces each, do not use 'oven ready'

Cheese Topping

  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese) or ½ and ½
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot with oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until veggies begin to soften.
  • Add meat and chicken sausage to the pot, breaking up into small pieces. Stir occasionally for 5-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  • Next, add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add noodles and cook until soft, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking.
  • While soup is cooking, mix all topping ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
  • Allow soup to cool slightly and sauce to thicken before serving. Spoon soup into a bowl, add a dollop of topping and garnish with fresh basil and extra mozzarella or parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker soup, start with 5 cups of chicken broth. Use regular lasagna noodles, not 'oven ready' varieties. Soup will thicken as it cools, so let it sit for at least 20 minutes before serving.
