Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir until combined.

Step 6

Add the dried basil, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

While the soup is cooking, prepare the cheese topping by combining ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan in a small bowl.

Step 10

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and dollop a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture on top of each serving. The cheese will melt into the hot soup.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
