Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 560kcal
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage mild or hot
- ¾ cup sweet onion diced
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
- 1 280ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 13-15 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into smaller pieces
- Toppings: ricotta shredded mozzarella cheese,
Instructions
- In a large pot, like this one, over medium heat, heat the olive oil for 1 minute. Add the ground sausage, onion, and garlic. Sauté until browned and cooked through, breaking up with a spoon as you go— about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and let it cook for 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, pepper, spices and stir to combine. Increase to high heat and bring to a boil.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for 12-15 minutes until the noodles are cooked through, stirring a few times to keep the noodles from sticking together. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, spoon the soup into bowls with a dollop of ricotta and shredded mozzarella cheese, if preferred. Leftovers stay fresh in the refrigerator for 5 days.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: This soup stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The soup can also be frozen, once cooled, for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat on the stove or in the microwave.
- Chicken Broth: I prefer to use low-sodium chicken broth. If you're using regular, reduce salt slightly and taste at the end.
- Meat: If you're not a fan of sausage, you can use beef or turkey— I've used each and the recipe is just as delicious!
