Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 5 c low-sodium beef broth
  • tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley or 3 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 10 –12 lasagna noodles broken into 1–2 inch pieces
  • 16 oz 2 c small-curd cottage cheese
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese for serving
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 3 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften.
  • Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, or until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary, then return the pot to the heat.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with their juice, beef broth, oregano, basil, and parsley. Stir well to combine.
  • Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles, stirring to ensure they are fully submerged.
  • Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but not overcooked.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cottage cheese until fully incorporated and the soup becomes creamy.
  • Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese before serving.
