Lasagna Soup 🍲

Ingredients:

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot)

1 medium onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups marinara sauce

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Ricotta cheese for serving

Directions:

In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Pour in the chicken broth, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and add the broken lasagna noodles. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Stir in the heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and fresh basil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

Serve hot, topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.
