Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 8 Lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, milk, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the broken lasagna noodles and stir well to prevent sticking. Simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Step 8

Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan until melted and creamy.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil (if desired).
