ingredients

Creamy Pumpkin-Chipotle Swirl (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon Smoky Chipotle Base
  • Fresh basil, chopped

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large pot, heat butter (or oil/tallow) over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  • Step 2

    Add the ground beef to the pot, along with the oregano, basil, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and 2 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Smoky Chipotle Base. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

  • Step 3

    Stir in the pumpkin puree, crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Mix well and bring to a slow boil.

  • Step 4

    Reduce the heat to low and add the broken lasagna sheets. Cook for 13-15 minutes or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • Step 5

    Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Stir in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

  • Step 7

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the creamy pumpkin-chipotle swirl and chopped fresh basil, if desired. Serve warm.
