Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage – browned and crumbled for rich flavor.
- 1 onion, chopped – sweet and savory foundation.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced – because soup without garlic is just sad.
- 6 cups chicken broth – the base that ties it all together.
- 1 (15 oz) can white beans, rinsed & drained – adds creaminess and protein.
- 1 cup heavy cream – silky richness in every bite.
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped – for color and a veggie boost.
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese – makes the broth luxuriously creamy.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella – gooey goodness.
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan – salty, nutty finish.
- 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into chunks – the “pasta layer” in soup form.
- Salt & pepper – adjust to taste.
Instructions
- Brown the sausage. Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Cook sausage until no longer pink, crumbling it with a spoon. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics. In the same pot, cook the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
- Build the base. Pour in chicken broth and stir in the white beans. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer.
- Make it creamy. Add the heavy cream, spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir well and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors come together.
- Add the pasta. Drop the broken lasagna noodles into the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
- Bring it all together. Stir the sausage back into the pot and let it cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve & enjoy. Ladle into bowls, top with extra Parmesan if you’re feeling fancy, and dig in!
