A warm, satisfying soup that combines the bold spices of tacos, the cheesy layers of lasagna, and the comfort of homemade beef soup—all in one bowl.
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade blend)
1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
6 lasagna noodles, broken into 1–2 inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: black beans, corn, green chilies
Heat oil in a large soup pot. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and taco seasoning.
Pour in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and broth. Stir well.
Bring to a boil, then add lasagna noodles. Reduce heat and simmer 12–15 minutes.
Stir in cream and half the cheese. Mix until melted and smooth.
Serve hot, topped with remaining cheese and optional garnishes.
