Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Brown ground beef and Italian sausage in a large pot, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain excess grease and set the meat aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in the same pot, then sauté chopped onion for 5 minutes, followed by minced garlic for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, marinara sauce, all spices, and chicken broth, then return the browned meat to the pot.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, add broken lasagna noodles, then reduce heat and simmer until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach if desired.
  5. Combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses in a small bowl.
  6. Serve the hot soup, topping each bowl with a dollop of the cheese mixture and a garnish of fresh basil.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider browning the sausage first to render more fat before adding the beef. If you don't have homemade marinara, a good quality store-bought sauce works perfectly. Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
