Creating Quick and Cozy Lasagna Soup is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef or sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
5. Add Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
6. Prepare Cheese Mixture: While the soup is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
7. Combine: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the cheese mixture until well combined.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh basil on top for added flavor and color.
10. Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of lasagna in soup form!
