HOW TO MAKE Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground Italian pork
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce (I use Rao’s Marinara)
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (liquid included)
• 4 cups low sodium chicken broth (plus more for reheating)
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp sea salt (adjust as needed)
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spicy)
• 2 cups spinach (optional)
• 1 box (10 oz) gluten-free lasagna noodles, broken in half

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. First, add the olive oil to a large stock pot or Dutch oven.
2. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
3. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the pot. Cook until browned and the meat is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pot.
4. Next, add the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes (with their liquid), chicken broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if you like it spicy), sea salt, and black pepper. Stir the ingredients to mix well and bring to a rolling boil.
5. Once boiling, add the broken gluten-free lasagna noodles to the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through, stirring frequently to prevent the noodles from clumping together.
6. Before serving, add the spinach and let it wilt in the hot soup. Taste and adjust spices and broth as needed.
7. Serve the soup hot. You can top it with ricotta cheese or cottage cheese if desired.
