One-Pot Lasagna Soup with Cheesy Garlic Swirls

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (lean or regular)
• 1 Onion (diced)
• 3 clove Garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 28 oz Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 4 cup Beef broth (adjust for desired soupiness)
• 8 oz Lasagna noodles (broken into bite-sized pieces)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for richness)
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (dried oregano, basil, and thyme)
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded, for topping and rolls)
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese (for dolloping on top)
• 1 lb Pizza dough or puff pastry (for the cheesy swirls)
• 4 tbsp Butter (melted, for garlic rolls)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the paste has darkened slightly.

4. 4

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

5. 5

   Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender (about 10-12 minutes).

6. 6

   While the soup simmers, prepare the cheesy swirls: Roll out your dough, brush with melted garlic butter, sprinkle generously with mozzarella, roll it up tightly, and slice into rounds. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden and bubbly.

7. 7

   Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the heavy cream to create a rich, creamy broth.

8. 8

   Serve the soup hot in bowls, topped with a generous dollop of ricotta cheese and extra shredded mozzarella.

9. 9

   Serve the warm garlic cheesy swirls on the side for dipping.

Notes

The creator emphasizes that this is a 'soupy' lasagna soup, not a stew; if it becomes too thick, add a splash more broth. For the side bread, the creator describes them as 'garlic cheesy Swiss rolls' that bake into buttery, croissant-like layers.
