Sauté Aromatics
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and soft.
- Stir in the garlic and bell peppers. Cook for another 2 minutes until the peppers soften.
Simmer the Soup
- Pour in the vegetable broth and tomato sauce. Add the tomato paste, basil, and oregano. Stir to ensure the paste dissolves completely into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, drop in the broken lasagna noodles. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for about 10 minutes until the noodles are nearly al dente.
Add Vegetables and Greens
- Add the diced zucchini and mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Fold in the spinach. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Prepare Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of black pepper and mozzarella cheese.
Serve
- Turn off the heat. Ladle the hot soup into deep bowls and place a generous dollop of the cheese mixture in the center of each bowl. Let the cheese melt slowly into the broth.
