🥘Ingredients

For the Soup

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt

For the Cheese Topping

1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
2Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned all over, about 5 to 6 minutes.
3Add the diced onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste, then add the salt and black pepper.
6Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
7Bring the soup to a boil over high heat.
