Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 pound ground Italian sausage (or ground beef)
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces broken lasagna noodles (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with 1 tablespoon of water or broth to make it smoother.
  7. Stir in half of the mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted into the soup.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the ricotta mixture and the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the Italian sausage with 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms and 1/2 cup of plant-based ground crumbles.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, use slightly less broth, about 3 1/2 cups.
  • You can use dried herbs for this recipe; the flavor is still excellent.
  • Taste the soup before adding salt, as the broth and sausage already contribute sodium.
