Ingredients

1 tablespoon Extra Virgil Olive Oil
1 Onion
1 lb Ground Beef grass-fed
3 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Italian Herbs
2 tablespoon Tomato Paste
½ teaspoon Sea Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
24 oz Marinara Sauce
32 floz Beef or Chicken Broth
6-8 Lasagna Noodle Sheets broken into 1-2 inch pieces
2 cups Spinach
½ cup Whipped Cottage Cheese divided between each bowl of soup
Parmesean Cheese to taste

Instructions

Place your Dutch or large pot oven over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil and onions. Saute the onions for 5-7 minutes or until soft.
Using a wooden spoon, move the sauteed onions to the side of the Dutch oven and then add the ground beef.
Break up the ground beef with your wooden spoon and cook until browned.
Add garlic, herbs, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, and combine with the beef and onions. Cook for about 1 minute.
Next, add the tomato sauce and chicken broth to the beef mixture and stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil and add the broken lasagna noodles, stirring to combine.
Cook the lasagna noodles about 1-2 minutes shy of the package directions, or until just before al dente. Don’t forget to stir the soup periodically so the noodles don’t stick together.
Add the fresh spinach, and taste for seasonings, adjust as needed.

Tips and Tricks

Don't overcook the noodles! Make sure you cook the noodles until they are just about done. To avoid soggy noodles, make sure you don’t let the soup simmer for too long after the noodles are cooked.
It's helpful to put your lasagna sheets into a large freezer bag and break them by using a kitchen mallet. This will help prevent the noodles from flying all over your kitchen!
Don't be shy with the herbs! A generous pinch of basil, oregano, and a hint of garlic powder can elevate the flavor profile. Taste as you go and adjust the seasonings according to your preferences.
