Serve your delicious Lasagna Soup, and top each serving with a dollop of the ricotta cheese mixture.
When browning the sausage and beef, break the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon and cook until there's no pink left. This ensures the meat is evenly cooked.
Be careful not to overcook the lasagna pieces. They should be al dente, as they will continue to cook slightly in the hot soup.
While simmering, stir the soup occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
This soup is best enjoyed hot. Serve it immediately with a dollop of the ricotta mixture on top of each serving.
