• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spatula.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Season the soup with dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Once the noodles are fully cooked, ladle the soup into serving bowls.

Step 11

Top each bowl with a generous dollop of the cheese mixture. Stir gently to let the cheese melt into the soup.
