Simple Lasagna Soup @danielleharmswellness

I am watching my 3 & 6 year old niece and nephew for a week and I was so excited to think of meals that would be kid-approved. Most kids love the classic spaghetti so I chose to run with that and try out a variation of lasagna soup.

The recipe below is an extremely simplified version, feel free to elaborate in the spice department and add in variations of cheeses. For me, I wanted this recipe to be a simple as possible with the chaotic and busy households in mind. 

SIMPLE LASAGNA SOUP (serves 4-6)

Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients: 

EVOO

1 lb of ground beef

½ yellow onion

2-3 cloves of garlic

32oz Marinara sauce of choice (I used the arrabbiata sauce from @Raos and absolutely loved the flavor) 

16oz Beef bone broth 

Lasagna noodles

2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Shredded monzarella cheese

Optional seasonings: S&P, garlic powder, oregano, and basil

Other optional toppings: ricotta cheese, freshly grated parmesan cheese, fresh basil

Served with homemade sourdough

Instructions:

1. Begin by heating a large pot to medium/high heat.

2. Add in 1 tbsp of EVOO and freshly minced garlic.

3. Allow garlic to become fragrant then add in ½ of a diced yellow onion.

4. Allow garlic and onion to become transparent then add in ground beef.

5. Cook ground beef fully then add seasonings of choice.

6. Next, pour in ½ of your bone broth and stir.

7. Turn the heat down to medium/low and add in your marinara sauce and stir.

8. Crack your lasagna noodles into fourths and mix into pot along with the rest of your bone broth and 2 tbsp of heavy whipping cream.

9. Cover the pot with a lid and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes (until noodles are fully cooked and soft). Finally sprinkle in shredded monzarella cheese and enjoy!
