Saute the beef, and season with 1 salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Drain excess grease.
Add in diced onion. Sautee until onion is tender, then add the minced garlic.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and add italian seasoning, the bay leaf, and cook until tomatoes start bubbling.
Add the broth and stir. Add remaining salt and black pepper.
Bring the pot to a boil, and then add the lasagna noodles.
Reduce heat to a slow simmer and cook until the noodles are cooked to al dente.
In a small bowl, combine ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
To the pot, add spoonfuls of the cheese mixture and lightly stir. You don’t want the cheese to be fully incorporated.
Add the lasagna soup to a soup bowl, and add extra cheese.
