Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Pasta and Vegetables

  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 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 and crumbly texture.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the sausage. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Broth and Water: Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering broth. Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
  5. Incorporate Dairy and Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to combine and create a creamy base.
  6. Add Spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and stir until it just wilts, which should take about 1-2 minutes. This adds color and nutrients to the soup.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous dollop of ricotta cheese. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness and vibrant presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the Italian sausage for a leaner option.
  • If you want a thicker soup, reduce the water to 1 cup and increase the chicken broth to 5 cups.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to avoid breaking the dairy base.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth along with sautéed mushrooms for a meaty texture.
