Instructions

Chop the veggies into small pieces.
Heat a large dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed large pot on medium heat to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat.
Add the vegetables including the onion, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Add the ground turkey, seasonings, and garlic. Break apart the turkey with a wooden spoon or masher and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes until nearly cooked through and no longer pink.
Stir in the tomato paste for about 1 minute.
Add the crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring everything to a boil. Lower to medium-low heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add to the soup. Continue to simmer the soup for 8-12 minutes until the lasagna noodles are al dente.
Remove from heat. If using spinach, stir it into the hot soup until it wilts.
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, Greek yogurt, and parmesan. Add a dollop of the ricotta mixture over each bowl of hot soup and sprinkle shredded mozzarella for a cheesy topping.
Finish it with a sprinkle of fresh basil.

Notes

This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated.
