In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, until it is no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Place the browned beef in a large crock pot or slow cooker.
Place the Roma tomatoes in a blender or food processor and manually pulse until they resemble a chunky sauce; transfer to the crockpot. Add the onion, bell pepper, fire roasted tomatoes and tomato paste; stir to combine. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using); stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth; stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the lid and give the soup a few stirs. Break the lasagna noodles over the soup into bite-sized pieces and stir them in. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through.
Spoon into bowls and top each serving with ½ tablespoon each of ricotta cheese, mozzarella and shredded parmesan. Enjoy!
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder; mix until well combined.
Ladle the soup into bowls, top each serving with 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture, and garnish with chopped basil. Enjoy!
