Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 8 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to the noodle package directions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente. This usually takes 10 to 12 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup is creamy.
  7. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese in the center of each bowl and gently swirl it into the hot soup. Top with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with beef broth.
  • If you prefer a white lasagna soup variation, omit the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce, and use 4 cups of chicken broth mixed with 1 cup of Alfredo sauce instead.
  • Serve this hearty Italian soup with warm garlic bread for dipping.
