- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup grated Parmesan

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant.
- Add ground beef or sausage. Cook until browned, then drain excess fat.
- Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and broth. Season with oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer 15–20 minutes.

- In a small bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top each with a spoonful of the cheese mixture.

Notes

- Freeze without noodles for best texture when reheating.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist or a splash of cream for extra richness.
- Use lean ground turkey for a lighter version.
