Follow these simple steps to create the Best Ever One-Pot Lasagna Soup:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot, over medium heat, brown the ground beef or Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
3. Pour in the Broth: Next, add the beef or chicken broth and the crushed tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
4. Season the Mixture: Add the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
5. Cook the Noodles: Once simmering, add the broken lasagna noodles. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
6. Incorporate the Cheese: Stir in the ricotta cheese until fully incorporated. Then, add half of the shredded mozzarella and mix.
7. Top with Remaining Cheese: Once everything is combined and heated through, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.

With each step carefully guiding you, creating this exquisite lasagna soup is an enjoyable experience.
