In a large pot, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth, stirring to combine.
Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the uncooked pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve the soup hot, topping each bowl with a dollop of ricotta and shredded mozzarella.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor.
Enjoy your hearty lasagna soup with crusty bread or a side salad!
