1. 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
2. 1 medium onion, finely chopped
3. 3 cloves garlic, minced
4. 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
5. 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
6. 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
7. 2 cups water
8. 2 tsp Italian seasoning
9. 1 tsp dried basil
10. 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
11. 1/4 tsp black pepper
12. 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
13. 1 cup ricotta cheese
14. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
15. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16. Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. If using ground turkey, cook until no longer pink.
2. Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water. Stir to combine.
4. Add the Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
5. Gently break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the soup. Stir to ensure they are evenly distributed.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
7. In the meantime, in a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. This mixture will be used as a delicious garnish for the soup.
8. Once the noodles are cooked to your desired tenderness, ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
9. Serve your One-Pot Easy Lasagna Soup piping hot, and watch as everyone savors the comforting flavors reminiscent of classic lasagna, but in a convenient and fuss-free soup form.
