Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chicken sausage. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 30 seconds. Stir in dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Add tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes and marinara sauce until well combined.
- Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to a simmer. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Add broken lasagna noodles and stir to prevent sticking. Simmer 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until al dente. Add more broth if needed.
- While noodles cook, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped basil or parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir until creamy.
- Taste soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Let simmer longer if tomato flavor is too sharp.
- Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into broiler-safe bowls on a baking sheet. Top with cheese mixture. Broil 2–4 minutes until bubbling and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes
Make ahead by preparing the soup base and cheese mixture a day or two early. Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat with a splash of broth. Use GF pasta and broth for a gluten-free version. Add spinach, zucchini, or beans to lighten or boost nutrients.
