Ingredients
Lasagna Soup
- 1 lb Italian Sausage
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¼ crushed red pepper
- 1 (15-ounce) can of fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 6 lasagna noodles broken into bite-size pieces
Ricotta Topping
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian parsley or basil chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a Dutch Oven over medium heat brown the Italian Sausage. When it is halfway browned add the onion and cook until the sausage is browned and the onion is soft. Reduce the heat to low and add garlic, 1 teaspoon parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, and crushed red pepper; stirring and cooking for 1 minute. Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes and crushed tomatoes.
- Whisk together the tomato paste and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth. Whisk it into the soup along with the remaining 5 1/2 cups of chicken broth.
- Bring the soup to a simmer and add the lasagna noodles. Cook the soup until the noodles are tender; 20-22 minutes.
- In a medium bowl combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley. Top each bowl with 1/4 cup cheese mixture. If desired top with chopped fresh parsley or basil.
Notes
I like to whisk the tomato paste with some broth to blend into the soup well.
If you like everything with some heat and spice, add a little more crushed red pepper or a few pinches of ground cayenne pepper.
If you know you will reserve a portion of the soup for leftovers, remove that amount before adding the pasta or the cheese. Set aside a percentage of uncooked lasagna noodles in the pantry and mixed cheese in the refrigerator. Add the lasagna noodles when you reheat the leftover soup on the stovetop. Then, top with the cheese mixture warmed to room temperature for no more than two hours.
