A hearty and comforting soup that combines all the flavors of classic lasagna, cooked in just one pot for easy cleanup and a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage Use either sweet or spicy sausage based on preference.
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Homemade broth yields better flavor.
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces Can substitute with penne or fusilli if needed.
- 2 cups ricotta cheese For a lighter version, use part-skim ricotta.
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- to taste Parmesan cheese, for serving
- for garnish Fresh basil
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, cook the Italian sausage, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the sausage is browned. Drain excess fat.
Cooking
- Stir in the broth, crushed tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
- Add the lasagna noodles and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella until combined.
- Serve hot, topped with the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.
Notes
Pairs nicely with garlic bread or a simple side salad for a complete meal. This soup can be prepared a day ahead and reheated on the stove. For a lighter option, ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of sausage. Feel free to add spinach or zucchini for extra vegetables. A vegetarian version can be made by omitting the sausage and adding more vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots.
