Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 lb lean ground beef 93/7
- 1 23.5oz jar marinara sauce
- 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 32oz container beef bone broth (I love Kettle & Fire, you can also use beef broth (it will have slightly less protein))
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese (I love Good Culture, you can also use whole milk cottage cheese!)
- 6 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces (I used Mueller brand)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sprinkle in onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef bone broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the cottage cheese until swirled through the soup. Add the broken lasagna noodles and continue to simmer until noodles are tender and the soup thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra cheese or fresh herbs.
Notes
Tip: For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and use plant‑based ground “meat” and vegetable broth. You can swap cottage cheese for ricotta or a dairy‑free alternative. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
