Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Classic Lasagna Soup
  1. Begin by gathering and prepping your ingredients for Classic Lasagna Soup. Chop onion and garlic, measuring out all your ingredients like ground meat, tomato sauce, and broth.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground meat, cooking it thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
  3. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked meat. Sauté them together for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato sauce and broth into the pot, blending everything well. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
