# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook about 4 minutes until softened. Incorporate Italian sausage and ground beef; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 -
Add diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir in Italian seasoning and dried oregano. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
03 -
Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to develop flavors.
04 -
In a separate pot, cook broken lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
05 -
Combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses in a mixing bowl. Reserve for serving.
06 -
Stir cooked lasagna noodles and fresh basil into the simmered soup. Add additional chicken broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
07 -
Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with a generous dollop of the cheese blend and garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Cook pasta until just al dente to prevent over-softening once combined with the soup.
