This is a hearty and flavourful soup that tastes like lasagna in a bowl. I've just used sausage meat here but feel free to use beef or pork mince, and adjust the spice level to your preference.

Method

In a dutch oven, add a splash of oil over a medium/high heat. Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings, brown the meat, and remove with a slotted spoon.

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and chilli along with a knob of butter. Scrape up all the sausage fond from the bottom - if you need help deglazing, add a splash of stock.

Once the veggies are fragrant and soft, add the meat back in along with tomato paste. Cook this for a couple of minutes, then add in the tomatoes and beef stock.

Add all the seasonings, turn down to medium/low, cover, and leave to cook for 20-30 minutes.

Break up the lasagne sheets, add to soup, cover, leave to cook until soft.

Mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Serve the soup in bowls and dollop the cheese mixture on top, sprinkle over basil, grate over fresh parmesan, and finish with chilli flakes. Enjoy!
