Ingredients

Scale

Meats

  • 1 lb Italian sausage

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped

Broth and Beans

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Pasta

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add broth and beans: Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained and rinsed white beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  4. Add cheeses and spinach: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to incorporate the cheeses.
  5. Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup and cook until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
  6. Return sausage and season: Return the browned sausage to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken sausage for Italian sausage for a lighter option.
  • For a vegetarian version, use plant-based sausage and vegetable broth.
  • Ensure lasagna noodles are broken into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
  • Feel free to add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to prevent curdling of the cheese.
