Instructions
Cooking the Soup
- Heat a 4.5-quart soup pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until it shimmers.
- Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are soft. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce or puree, and tomato paste. Pour in the chicken broth, add Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Add the uncooked bowtie pasta to the pot. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly.
- If the soup is too thick, gradually add water or broth until the desired consistency is reached.
- Allow the soup to cool slightly before mixing in the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses. Alternatively, serve cheese on the side.
- Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley.
