Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s fully cooked and nicely browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for approximately 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Transfer the browned beef mixture into the crockpot. Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Sprinkle in dried basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in lasagna noodles, ensuring they are submerged in the broth.
  6. Mix ricotta and grated Parmesan cheeses in a medium bowl until smooth.
  7. Just before serving, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese into the hot soup.
  8. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with the ricotta-Parmesan mixture.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
