Preparation Steps

• Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, crumble beef into pot, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring occasionally until browned. Drain fat from beef and set beef aside.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil in pot, add chopped yellow onion and saute until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
• Add in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, browned ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring just to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare lasagna noodles according to directions listed on package.
• In a mixing bowl, using a fork, stir together mozzarella, parmesan and ricotta.
• Stir cooked pasta into soup along with parsley, then thin soup with a little more broth if desired.
• Ladle soup into bowls, dollop with a large scoop of the cheese mixture and sprinkle with chopped parsley (cheese will melt well once stirred into soup).
