1. Cook the Meat: In a large pot, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

4. Add Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Cream It Up: Stir in the heavy cream (or milk) to give the soup a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
