Creating Gluten Free Lasagna Soup is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and let it warm.
2. Brown the Meat: Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir to combine.
5. Season the Soup: Add dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Add Pasta: Once boiling, add gluten-free pasta to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente.
7. Incorporate Spinach: If using fresh spinach, stir it in and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
8. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of salt.
9. Serve the Soup: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous spoonful of the ricotta mixture and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
10. Garnish: Add fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor before serving.

These steps will guide you smoothly through the cooking process, allowing you to create this delightful soup with ease.
