Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 10 lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 tsp minced garlic
  • 24 oz jar pasta sauce
  • 14 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan mozzarella, or ricotta cheese for topping

Method
 

Cook the meat:
  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, ground Italian sausage, and chopped onion. Cook until the meat is fully browned and the onions are softened, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the aromatics:
  1. Return the pot to the heat and stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Build the soup base:
  1. Pour in the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir in sugar, balsamic vinegar, basil, oregano, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
Add the noodles:
  1. Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and stir them into the pot.
Simmer:
  1. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the noodles are tender, about 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve:
  1. Remove the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Parmesan, mozzarella, or ricotta cheese. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
  2. Enjoy!
