Simple to make, but hearty and delicious, this one pot lasagne soup is nearly a full meal in itself. Add some crusty bread and you're good to go!
Heat up the olive oil and saute the onion in it until soft.
Add the Italian sausage and ground beef.
Continue cooking until meat is browned.
Drain off any excess fat.
Now, add in the garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and tomato paste.
Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and lasagne noodles.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about half an hour, until the lasagne noodles are cooked.
Stir in the cheeses and continue simmering for another 20 minutes until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
Notes: You might want more ricotta and mozzarella cheese for topping your soup when you serve it!
I find the San Marzano tomatoes do make quite a difference in taste.
If you do add a couple extra lasagne noodles, you can easily stretch this to 8 servings instead of 6.
