Ingredients List (What You Need)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 spoon minced garlic
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 spoon tomato paste
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 spoon Italian seasoning
- 1 spoon crushed red pepper
- 1 spoon garlic salt
- 1 package Sazon Goya
- 1 package lasagna noodles
- 1 container ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 spoon parsley flakes
- Splash of milk (to add creaminess)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Dice and Sauté the Onion
Start by dicing your onion. Heat a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onions until they are soft and slightly golden.
2. Add Garlic for Flavor
Add one spoon of minced garlic to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Brown the Ground Beef
Add your ground beef to the pot. Break it up using a wooden spoon and cook until fully browned. Drain any excess fat if needed.
4. Build the Flavor Base
Stir in one spoon of tomato paste and combine it with the beef. This adds a deep, umami base to the soup.
5. Add the Tomato Sauce and Broth
Pour in 15 ounces of tomato sauce and 4 cups of beef broth. Stir to combine.
6. Season It Up
Add one spoon each of Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, garlic salt, and a packet of Sazon Goya. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
7. Break in the Lasagna Noodles
Break your lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them directly to the pot. Cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes.
8. Make the Cheese Blend
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Season the mixture with a bit more Italian seasoning and garlic salt for extra flavor.
9. Add the Cheese and Milk to the Pot
Add half of the ricotta cheese mixture directly into the soup. Pour in a splash of milk and stir until creamy and smooth.
10. Serve & Garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of the remaining cheese mixture and a sprinkle of Parmesan and parsley flakes.
