Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 525kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 29 oz petite diced tomatoes or two 14.5 oz cans, undrained
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups broken lasagna noodles
- 5 oz grated or shaved parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large dutch oven over medium heat. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon and cook for eight minutes or until it is browned.
- Add the onions and bell pepper and cook for about five more minutes or until soft. Then add the garlic and cook for about a minute. Drain any accumulated fat.
- Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for fifteen minutes.
- Add the noodles and simmer until tender, about 10 -12 minutes. When you add the broken lasagna noodles, they soak up the flavorful stock, becoming perfectly tender and packed with flavor.
- Add the parmesan cheese and stir until combined.
- Preheat the broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-proof bowls and top with a handful of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan. Place the bowls on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for a minute or so until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For that perfect lasagna experience, don't skip the final step of adding a layer of cheesy goodness—melted mozzarella and freshly grated parmesan that add richness to every spoonful. Serve this cheesy lasagna soup immediately.

Notes
- Don’t skip the cheesy topping—it’s what gives this soup that true lasagna flavor!
- Lazy day hack: No time for the broiler? Add the mozzarella to the bottom of your bowl, then pour the hot soup on top. It’ll melt just fine, no oven mitts required.
- Break up the noodles before adding them to the soup. They look pretty left whole, but they’re tricky to cut in the bowl.
- Cooking for two? Before adding the noodles or cheese, remove two-thirds of the soup base and freeze it in quart containers. Then add a few noodles and a third of the cheese to the portion you're keeping out. When you're ready to cook a frozen portion, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator if possible. Then, bring it to a simmer on the stovetop, add a few broken lasagna noodles, and cook until tender. Stir in the cheese just before serving.
- Bonus: This makes a thoughtful meal to share with a friend, just include the noodles and cheese along with a quick note on how to finish it
