Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat over medium-high heat, adding the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
- Add minced garlic and diced onion to the pot. Sprinkle in dried basil, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and water. Stir in the tomato paste. Add broken lasagna noodles, ensuring they are submerged, then bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in frozen chopped spinach and heavy cream, cooking uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until creamy.
- To serve, place mozzarella cheese slices in bowls, ladle the hot soup over them, and add dollops of ricotta cheese. Optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

Notes
For best results, use quality beef and avoid overcooking the noodles. Keep extra broth handy for leftovers.
