Description
A comforting and hearty soup that combines the flavors of classic lasagna in a warm and cozy dish perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
- Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
- Crushed tomatoes
- Chicken or vegetable broth
- Lasagna noodles
- Ricotta cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Garlic (minced)
- Onion (chopped)
- Olive oil
- Fresh basil (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm a drizzle of olive oil and add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Crumble in your ground sausage, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add crushed tomatoes and your choice of broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually around 8-10 minutes) until al dente, stirring often.

- Taste the soup; add salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to your liking. Garnish with basil and parsley before serving.
