fresh parsley, fresh basil or green onion tops for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the chicken broth and spaghetti sauce and stir to combine.
Add the salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, and sugar. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
Break the gluten free lasagna noodles into bite-size pieces and sprinkle them into the boiling soup. Stir often to prevent sticking. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the noodles are soft.
Stir in the garlic infused olive oil and chopped green onion tops.
In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Stir until combined.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a scoop of the cheese mixture and fresh parsley.
