- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage

Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

- In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese and a pinch of salt. This will add creaminess to your soup.
- Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of Lasagna Soup!
