Description
This creamy, comforting white lasagna soup brings all the cheesy goodness of classic lasagna in a simple, spoonable form. Ready in just 35 minutes with tender pasta, Italian sausage, and a rich, creamy broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage (mild or hot, your choice)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (6-8 minutes). Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and heavy cream. Stir in dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot and simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender but still have a little bite. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until melted and soup is luxuriously creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with extra ricotta, fresh basil or parsley, and more Parmesan. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken instead of sausage. Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free option. Gluten-free lasagna noodles work beautifully. Don’t overcook the noodles as they’ll continue to soften in the hot broth. Leftovers keep for 4 days in refrigerator or 3 months frozen.
