# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large pot over medium-high. Add Italian sausage, ground beef, and diced onion. Sauté until meat is well browned and onion softens, breaking up meat into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat. Stir in Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to season the mixture.
02 -
Add pasta sauce and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
03 -
Add broken lasagna sheets. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until pasta is just tender, about 10-12 minutes.
04 -
Stir in ricotta cheese and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is fully incorporated and the soup becomes creamy.
05 -
Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese to serve.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
For added nutrition, include diced green pepper, sliced mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, or fresh spinach.
02 -
Substitute ground turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter protein option.
03 -
If preparing ahead, store the soup and pasta separately to prevent noodles from over-absorbing the broth.
04 -
Cottage cheese or heavy cream can replace ricotta for a similar creamy finish.
