Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional
  • teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 x 24 ounce jar gluten-free marinara sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 8 gluten-free lasagna noodles broken into pieces

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Add ground beef (or turkey), breaking apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned.
  • Stir in Italian seasoning, oregano, nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add in marinara sauce and chicken broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in chopped spinach and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Add broken lasagna noodles directly into the soup. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so noodles don’t stick to the bottom.

Notes

Storage
  • Storing leftovers (two ways): Remove the noodles from any leftover, cooled soup. Store the soup base and cooked noodles in separate, airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months. If leaving lasagna noodles in soup for storage, they will break down some and you may need to add additional broth or water when reheating. 
  • Make-ahead: Make the soup as usual but don't add the lasagna noodles. Let cool then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months. If frozen, defrost the soup overnight in the refrigerator before serving. When ready to serve, reheat the soup base and cook the lasagna noodles in a pot of salted, boiling water according to packet directions. Stir the cooked noodles into the warmed soup and serve.
  • Reheat: Reheat the soup in a pot on the stove over a medium-low heat until piping hot. Alternatively, reheat individual portions in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until piping hot throughout.
