Instructions
To create the incredible Gluten Free Lasagna Soup, follow these easy steps:
1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot, over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Mix well.
4. Season the Soup: Add in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
5. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Cook the Pasta: Once boiling, add the gluten-free pasta to the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
7. Add Greens: Stir in the fresh spinach or kale and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
8. Incorporate Cheeses: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese until melted and well-combined.
9. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each serving with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
10. Garnish: Finish with fresh basil for an aromatic and visually appealing touch.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll create a flavorful and filling soup that embodies the deliciousness of lasagna while keeping it gluten-free.
