1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil For sautéing the vegetables.
1 medium onion, chopped Provides flavor to the soup.
4 cloves garlic, minced Adds aromatic flavor.
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped Adds sweetness and color.
1 teaspoon sea salt For seasoning.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances garlic flavor.
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Adds herby notes.
1 teaspoon dried parsley For freshness.
½ teaspoon black pepper For additional seasoning.

For the Soup Ingredients

1 package plant-based beef-less ground crumbles (14 oz.) I love using Gardein.
1 bottle marinara sauce (32 oz.) I love Rao's or Whole Foods 365 brands.
6 cups organic vegetable stock Base of the soup.
1 can fire roasted tomatoes (14 oz.) For added flavor and texture.
6-8 sheets organic lasagna sheets, broken into medium pieces Forms the main component of the soup.
1 cup grated parmesan cheese For creaminess.
½ cup organic ricotta cheese Adds richness.

Instructions

Preparation

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until it becomes soft.
Add minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the plant-based crumbles and cook for around 5 minutes until heated through.

Cooking

Pour in the marinara sauce, vegetable stock, and fire roasted tomatoes. Bring the soup to a boil.
Once boiling, add the broken lasagna sheets. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the lasagna is tender.
Stir in the grated parmesan and ricotta cheese until melted and incorporated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Serving

Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with additional grated parmesan, a sprinkle of parsley, or a dollop of ricotta cheese if desired.
