Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage hot or mild
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Cheesy Topping
  • 8 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • 1 Large Dutch oven or pot
  • 1 Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  3. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. While the soup simmers, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
  6. Ladle the hot Lasagna Soup into bowls. Top each serving with a generous dollop of the cheesy ricotta mixture. Garnish with more fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Tip 1: For best results, store the soup and the cheese topping in separate containers to prevent the noodles from getting soggy.
Tip 2: Feel free to substitute the lasagna noodles with mafalda, campanelle, or another short, sturdy pasta that can hold up in the soup.
