Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Broth

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Beans, Vegetables and Pasta

  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Cheeses

  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Broth and Beans: Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained, rinsed white beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Incorporate Cream and Cheeses: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
  5. Cook Noodles: Add the broken pieces of lasagna noodles into the simmering soup. Continue cooking until the noodles are tender, approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Return Sausage and Final Seasoning: Add the cooked sausage back into the pot. Let everything cook together for an additional 5 minutes to meld flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, use spicy Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute fresh kale for spinach if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make the recipe gluten free.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • If the soup becomes too thick after refrigeration, add a splash of chicken broth or water when reheating.
