Instructions
1. – In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat, 5-7 minutes, making sure to crumble the meat as it cooks.
2. – Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

4. – Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the broken lasagna noodles. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
5. – Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. – Serve the Easy Lasagna Soup hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
Notes

– Swap ground turkey or Italian turkey sausage for a leaner version.
– Add sliced mushrooms, spinach, or other veggies to boost the nutrition.
