Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

For the Lasagna

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until it’s cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Once browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring everything to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.

Cooking

  • Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.

Serving

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a generous portion of shredded mozzarella and dollops of ricotta cheese.
  • Serve hot and enjoy your cozy lasagna soup!

Notes

For best results, brown the sausage thoroughly to enhance flavor. Consider adding spinach or kale for extra nutrition. Substitute chicken thighs for sausage or use gluten-free noodles if needed.
