Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dairy & Cheese

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Vegetables & Garnish

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked sausage. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add liquids and simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and water, then bring the mixture to a simmer to develop the soup base.
  4. Cook noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering pot and cook until tender, approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Incorporate cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring until cheese melts and soup is creamy.
  6. Add spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the soup and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • To make this vegetarian, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Add mushrooms or zucchini for extra vegetables and nutrition.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing for a spicier soup.
  • Use gluten-free pasta to make the recipe gluten-free.
