Step 1

Start by dicing your whole onion and 3 garlic cloves

Step 2

Brown your 1 lb of ground beef in some olive oil on medium heat. Once the beef starts to brown add in your diced onion. Saute for about 5 more min until the onions are translucent.

Step 3

Season with a teaspoon of salt, pepper and Italian seasoning

Step 4

Once the onion is translucent add in your diced garlic cloves. Saute for another 2 min

Step 5

Add in your two cans of tomato sauce and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste

Step 6

Add your low sodium chicken broth and half a cup of heavy cream

Step 7

Season to taste with chicken bouillon and more pepper and Italian seasoning (I used about another teaspoon of each)

Step 8

Also add 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes

Step 9

I added about 5 basil leaves and a handful of spinach

Step 10

Bring your soup up to a boil. Once boiling, were going to break up our lasagna noodles into about 2 inch pieces.

Step 11

Add your noodles to the soup and cook till aldente (about 10 min)

Step 12

For our cheese I combined about 1 cup of ricotta cheese and half a cup of parmesan cheese. I mixed to combine with a spoon. I also added extra basil for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 13

Top your soup

Step 14

Serve and enjoy!
