Method

Step 1 — Sauté the meat

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef or ground chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Once browned, remove excess fat if needed.

Step 2 — Add aromatics

Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3 — Add herbs and seasonings

Sprinkle in the dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the meat and onions with the seasonings.

Step 4 — Add the broth and water

Pour in the chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Stir to combine everything.

Step 5 — Add the broken lasagna noodles

Break lasagna noodles into medium pieces and add them to the pot. Stir so the noodles do not stick together.

Step 6 — Simmer

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.

Step 7 — Add Alfredo sauce

Once the pasta is cooked, pour in the Alfredo sauce. Stir well until the broth becomes creamy and thick.

Step 8 — Add the cheese

Add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted into the soup. The result should be smooth, thick, and luxurious.

Step 9 — Prepare the ricotta topping

In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt, pepper, and parsley. This will be dolloped over the soup when serving.

Step 10 — Serve hot

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a spoonful of ricotta mixture. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
