How to Make This Easy Lasagna Soup Recipe
STEP 1: In a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, brown and crumble the beef until cooked, about 7 - 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside the beef.
STEP 2: Add another tablespoon of oil to your pot. Once hot, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 - 4 minutes.
STEP 3: Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the tomato paste.

STEP 4: Add the cooked beef, broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the pot. Stir to mix.
STEP 5: Bring the pot to a boil and add the noodles, roughly broken into fourths. Lightly boil, uncovered, for 8 - 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked. Stir occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pot and keeping the noodles submerged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I cook the lasagna noodles for?
Cook the lasagna noodles for 8 - 10 minutes, until they are cooked al dente. The noodles should still have some slight firmness so that they don't become mushy in the soup.
Can I cook the lasagna noodles separately?
Yes, you can also cook your lasagna noodles separately. Cook the noodles according to your package's instructions; and while they cook, lightly simmer your soup for the same amount of time. Add the noodles to your soup just before serving.
How can I make my soup thinner?
If you would prefer a thinner soup, add additional chicken broth (or water) at the end of the recipe.
