Calories: 365
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 24 ounces your favorite marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 cups water
- 4 Packets Bare Bones chicken bone broth
- 8 ounces dry protein pasta
- 2 cups low fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 tablespoons grated parmesan
Instructions
- Add the ground beef and chopped onion to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until browned and the onion is softened. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and tomato paste. Pour in the water, chicken bone broth and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
- Add the dry protein pasta and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook according to the package directions, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
- Divide the soup between 8 bowls. Top each serving with ¼ cup cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan. Stir the cheeses into the hot soup for a creamy, cheesy lasagna texture.
Notes
- I used Carbe Diem pasta to add extra protein and fiber while keeping the net carb count lower than traditional pasta.
- High protein pasta can soften quickly, so cook it just until al dente.
- The pasta will continue to absorb broth as the soup sits. Add a splash of water or broth when reheating leftovers if needed.
- I used 4 Bare Bones broth packets mixed with water for the broth. You can substitute 8 cups of your favorite chicken bone broth.
- Add the cottage cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan to each individual bowl rather than the entire pot. For 8 servings, use about ¼ cup cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon Parmesan per serving.
- If meal prepping, you can cook and store the pasta separately to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- Nutrition information is calculated using Carbe Diem pasta and is an estimate. Different brands of marinara, ground beef, broth, and cheese will change the nutrition information.
