Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) oil
- 1 cup (150 g) finely chopped white onion
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 300 grams ground beef, 97% lean meat
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups (750 ml) unsweetened tomato juice or sugar-free pasta sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 pieces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
- For topping:
- ½ cup (75 g) crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup (120 g) crumbled cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Then, add the chopped onion and crushed garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Once the beef is browned, pour in the unsweetened tomato juice and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Add the bay leaf to the pot for added flavor. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Meanwhile, break the lasagna noodles into small pieces. You can do this by hand or place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, stirring to ensure they are fully submerged in the soup.
- Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and tender.
- While the soup is simmering, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, crumbled cottage cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Once the noodles are cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
- To serve, ladle the Lasagna Soup into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of the cheese and parsley topping.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
