Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Noodles & Cheese
- 1 cup lasagna noodles, uncooked
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional Toppings
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Add the Tomato Base: In a large pot, cook the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant to create a flavorful base.
- Simmer the Sauce: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Layer the Lasagna Noodles: Add the uncooked lasagna noodles directly into the pot, stirring to coat them evenly in the tomato mixture.
- Simmer the Soup: Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and tender, absorbing the rich tomato broth.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese gradually until it melts smoothly into the soup, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve hot.
- Enjoy with Sides: Complement the soup with crusty bread for dipping and a side salad for freshness. A warm beverage like tea or coffee makes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For extra tender noodles, soak the lasagna noodles in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the soup.
- You can layer noodles halfway through cooking to allow them to absorb more broth for enhanced flavor.
- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese gradually to ensure it melts evenly without clumping.
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain consistency.
