Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 pound Ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounce) Crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups Beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
For Serving
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Add oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and use vegetable broth.
