**How to prepare Lasagna Soup:**
1. To begin, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and allow it to brown on both sides without breaking it apart too soon.
2. Once the desired level of browning is achieved, break the meat apart and cook for another couple of minutes. Then transfer the beef to a separate large pot.
3. Add the remaining olive oil to the frying pan and then add the mirepoix (diced onion, celery, and carrot). Cook on medium heat until it starts to brown a little, then transfer to the large pot with the beef.
4. Add the following ingredients to the large pot: beef stock, red wine, chopped tomatoes, oregano, and spices. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.
5. Add broken lasagne sheets to the soup after 20 minutes of cooking.
6. Once the soup is ready, adjust the seasoning to your preference and add more water if the soup is too thick. Enjoy with garlic bread and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Mangiare!
