Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Ground Beef or Turkey: Opt for lean meat to keep the soup light yet hearty; feel free to substitute with plant-based options.
• Onion: Use yellow onions for sweetness and depth; they add great flavor as they sauté.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic brings an aromatic punch that elevates everything; crush it just before adding.
• Crushed Tomatoes: Canned works well here; look for those packed in juice for extra flavor.
• Chicken Broth: Choose low-sodium broth so you can control the saltiness of your soup.
• Pasta: Use small pasta shapes like ditalini or shells; these hold sauce beautifully and are fun to eat.
• Italian Seasoning: A blend of herbs that adds authentic Italian flavor; you can also mix your own using basil and oregano.
• Fresh Basil and Parsley: These brighten up the soup; chop them finely before adding.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella melts beautifully into the soup; use fresh mozzarella if you’re feeling fancy!

Let’s Make It Together

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté diced onion until translucent and fragrant. Toss in minced garlic until aromatic but not burnt.

Add the Meat: Stir in ground beef or turkey and cook until browned thoroughly. Break apart clumps with a wooden spoon while cooking—no one likes meatballs hiding in their soup!

Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in crushed tomatoes along with chicken broth. Stir well to combine all those delicious flavors while letting them mingle like old friends.

Add Pasta and Seasonings: Toss in your chosen pasta along with Italian seasoning. Bring everything to a boil before reducing heat to simmer until pasta is tender—about 10-12 minutes.

Finish With Fresh Herbs and Cheese: Stir in chopped basil and parsley right before serving. Ladle into bowls topped with shredded mozzarella cheese; watch it melt into gooey goodness!

Make this cozy Lasagna Soup soon; trust me, it’s comfort food at its finest!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by sautéing onions and garlic until fragrant, then add ground meat and cook until browned. Follow this with tomatoes and broth while cooking your pasta separately for optimal texture.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out ground turkey or beef for plant-based meat alternatives. You can also add veggies like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition and color.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat or in the microwave until piping hot.

Creating this dish reminds me of cozy evenings with friends, laughing over bowls of steaming soup while sharing stories that could fill a novel.
