Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (or ground beef/chicken for a leaner option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage (or ground meat of your choice) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then set the meat aside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the onion is softened and translucent.
  3. Add liquids and seasonings: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, heavy cream, basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Cook the pasta: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is cooked al dente.
  5. Add the cheese: Stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Keep stirring until the cheeses are fully melted and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Season to taste: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve with a side of garlic bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
