Ingredients
Method
Cottage Cheese and Herb Mixture:
- Blend 2 cups of Breakstone’s 2% Small Curd Cottage Cheese with 2 Tbsp of water until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the blended cottage cheese with salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, basil paste, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly grated mozzarella. Cover and refrigerate.
Soup:
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook ½ lb ground beef and ½ lb ground Italian sausage, breaking up the meat. Add diced onion halfway through cooking.
- Once the meat is no longer pink, add minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly add marinara sauce, followed by chicken stock, basil paste, cream cheese, and 1 cup of blended cottage cheese. Bring to a low simmer, stirring often until the cheeses melt into the soup.
- Break up 10 lasagna sheets into the soup, stirring well. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to maintain a low simmer.
- Adjust seasoning to taste once noodles are cooked.
- Serve the soup in a large bowl and top with 1 or 2 scoops of the cottage cheese mixture, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
