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

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Meat: Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and add the beef or vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
5. Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
6. Cook Noodles: Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
7. Stir in Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in the ricotta cheese and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
8. Add Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top. Cover the pot for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
9. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Following these steps will yield a delightful pot of lasagna soup that is sure to impress!
