Protein and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Broth and Liquids
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup heavy cream
Pasta and Cheese
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Brown 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.
- Sauté onions and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the browned sausage. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add broth and water: Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer to start cooking the noodles and blend flavors.
- Cook lasagna noodles: Add the broken pieces of lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook until tender, which should take about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Incorporate cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference, mixing well to create a creamy soup base.
- Add spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the soup and stir until the spinach wilts, stirring gently to combine.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each with a generous dollop of ricotta cheese. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the Italian sausage for a leaner option.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Use gluten-free noodles if you need a gluten-free option.
- This soup reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
