Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and crumbly, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, diced onion, dried basil, and oregano to the beef. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Combine Base Ingredients: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
- Add Pasta: Break the lasagna noodles into roughly 2-inch pieces and add them to the soup. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Incorporate Spinach and Cream: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve: Place slices of mozzarella cheese in bowls, ladle the soup over, top with ricotta, and sprinkle parmesan if desired.

Notes
For best results, avoid adding noodles too early, stir in cream at the end, and keep extra chicken broth on hand for reheating.
