Lasagna Soup

Heat a large pot on the stovetop with enough olive oil to coat the bottom (approx. 3 Tbsp.) Once hot, sauté the onion in it. Add in the meat and break it up as it cooks. Add in the minced garlic and all the seasonings. Add in the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next, add the marinara sauce and the beef broth. The amount of broth will depend on the consistency you want your soup to have. Let it come to a boil then add in broken pieces of lasagna noodles. Continue cooking until noodles are fully cooked. Pour in heavy cream and stir well, then remove from stove. In separate bowl add in the ricotta cheese, the mozzarella cheese, the parmesan cheese, the parsley, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix to combine. You can either take the cheese mixture and form balls with it that are approximately 2 inches in diameter and drop them into the soup. Or you can serve a dollop on top of each bowl of soup. Enjoy while hot.
