Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • soup pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef or half Italian sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 jar Prego Traditional Italian Sauce 24 oz.
  • 8-10 cups low sodium chicken broth divided
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 14 oz.
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 whole bay leaf
  • 10 pieces uncooked lasagna noodles broken into approx. 1-2 inch pieces
  • ½ cup heavy cream optional

Cheese Garnish

  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • freshly finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ricotta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat large Dutch oven/large soup pot over medium high heat. Add beef and onion and cook, stirring occasionally until beef is browned. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for 30 seconds. Drain off any excess fat.
  • Add Prego Sauce, 6 cups chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, sugar, spices, bay leaf and lasagna noodles. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until lasagna noodles are tender, stirring occasionally (approximately 20-30 minutes).
  • Discard bay leaf and stir in heavy cream (optional) and 2-4 cups chicken broth to reach desired consistency. Garnish individual servings with desired amount of cheeses.

Notes

If you want to omit the heavy cream but still would like a thicker soup then I suggest whisking 2 teaspoons cornstarch with some of the chicken broth and adding to the soup to simmer and thicken.
