In a large stock pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. Add the ground beef, sausage and onions and cook until meat is browned, about 8 minutes. Halfway through cooking the meat add the garlic.
Once the meat is cooked through, pour in the tomato paste, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and fennel and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
While the soup is cooking, prepare the lasagna noodles in a separate pot according to package directions and drain.
Add the cooked lasagna noodles to the pot and stir to combine. Top with the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, and some fresh parsley. Enjoy!
