Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed for lean beef)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz broken lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  2. Add diced onion and garlic to the beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add cream cheese and Parmesan, whisking until smooth and creamy. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook until tender (usually 8–10 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in shredded mozzarella until melted and gooey. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve hot with crusty bread for dunking.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese to melt smoothly. Break the lasagna noodles into small pieces before adding for even cooking. Add salt at the end of cooking, as Parmesan and broth contribute salt.
