How to Make Lasagna Soup:
- Sauté the Beef & Veggies: In a large pot, cook ground beef with onions and garlic until browned.

- Simmer with Pasta: Add the pasta and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Adjust the Consistency: Add a little water or broth to reach your desired thickness.
- Finish with Cheeses: Top the soup with a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir them in for extra creaminess, or serve them on the side.
Tips & Variations:

- Ground Beef Substitute: Ground turkey or Italian sausage works as great alternatives.
- Thicker Soup: Swap diced tomatoes for crushed tomatoes for a thicker broth.
- Reheating: Since the noodles soak up liquid, add extra water or broth when reheating.
