Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 jar pasta sauce

  • 4-6 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 lb pasta

  • A handful of fresh spinach

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

  • Basil

  • Grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp oregano

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp fennel seed

  • Red pepper flakes

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Avocado oil

Instructions

1. Sauté the Base:

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and ground beef, and season with onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, fennel seed, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef begins to brown, then add in the minced garlic and tomato paste. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic and paste to cook and release their flavors.

2. Add Sauce and Broth:

Once the beef is fully cooked, pour in the pasta sauce and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until the noodles are al dente, following the package instructions. Just before the pasta is done, stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts down.

3. Make the Creamy Cottage Cheese Sauce:

While the soup is cooking, add the cottage cheese and a little bit of water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. This will add a rich, creamy texture to your lasagna soup.

4. Assemble the Soup:

Once the soup is done cooking, spoon it into bowls. Drizzle the creamy cottage cheese sauce over the soup, and top with fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little extra heat.

5. Enjoy

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Skip the ground beef and use a plant-based protein or just add more vegetables, such as zucchini or mushrooms, for a hearty vegetarian version.

  • Extra Cheesy: For a more indulgent soup, you can top with mozzarella cheese and let it melt into the soup before serving.

  • Pasta Alternatives: You can use any pasta you prefer—broken lasagna noodles, fusilli, or rotini work great!
