Essential Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil for sautéing
- 1 medium Onion diced for a sweet base flavor
- 3 cloves Garlic minced to add aromatic depth
- 1 pound Ground Italian sausage for a savory protein boost
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to enhance the overall flavor
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional) for a hint of heat
- 4 cups Chicken broth to create a flavorful soup base
- 1 15-ounce can Crushed tomatoes for a rich tomato flavor
- 1 cup Heavy cream for that creamy texture
- 8 ounces Lasagna noodles broken into pieces for easy cooking
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese for added creaminess
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese for a gooey topping
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese for a salty finish
- Salt and pepper to taste for seasoning
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional) to brighten the dish
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add ground Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it up and cooking until browned for about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Pour in chicken broth and crushed tomatoes, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and stir into the pot. Cook for 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender. Stir in heavy cream.
Add ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to ensure everything is heated through. Serve hot, garnished with remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh basil if desired.
