Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or hot)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 lasagna noodles, broken into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir in the basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  6. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions or until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. While the noodles cook, mix the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. This is your ricotta mixture.
  8. When the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
  9. Stir in the mozzarella cheese until it melts into the soup.
  10. Serve the soup hot, topping each bowl with a dollop of the ricotta mixture and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • You can use ground beef instead of Italian sausage for a different flavor profile.
  • For a vegetarian option, skip the sausage and add an extra cup of mushrooms or lentils during step 3.
  • Break the lasagna noodles by hand into uneven pieces; this gives the soup a rustic, homemade texture.
  • The ricotta mixture adds the classic creamy layer; do not skip this step!
