Ingredients
Method
- Brown the sausage, beef, onion, and garlic in a large pot over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the tomato paste for 1 minute, then add the crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Keep warm over low heat, without boiling.
- Ladle into bowls, top with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you have time, let the soup base simmer an extra 10 minutes for even deeper flavor. The cheese toppings are best added fresh to each bowl rather than stirring them into the pot, so leftovers stay easy to reheat.
