Instructions
1- SautΓ© Aromatics:
- In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated onion and garlic. SautΓ© until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

- Stir in the brown sugar, Italian seasoning, basil, Cajun seasoning, and tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4- Add Tomatoes & Broth:
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5- Cook Noodles:
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, approximately 10-12 minutes.
6- Prepare Cheese Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, and a bit of Italian seasoning. Mix well.
7- Finish Soup:
- Once the noodles are done, stir in the heavy whipping cream. Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning as needed.
