Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even browning and no large chunks remain.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, which should take about 3-5 minutes. This step builds a flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Add liquids and bring to simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring to combine. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cook lasagna noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles into the simmering pot. Cook the noodles until they are tender but not mushy, approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. This step creates the creamy Alfredo base of the soup.
  6. Add fresh spinach: Finally, add the fresh spinach to the pot, stirring until it wilts completely, which should take about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for best texture; frozen spinach can be substituted but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Ground Italian sausage can be spicy or sweet depending on preference. Choose based on your heat tolerance.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream but the soup will be less rich.
  • Broken lasagna noodles are easier to eat in soup form, but you can use other pasta such as broken fettuccine or penne.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
