Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 450g hot Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Base and Liquids

  • 2 heaping tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can (28 oz / 796 ml) canned tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Pasta

  • 8–10 sheets lasagna, broken into pieces

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, finely minced
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Italian seasoning, to taste

Cheese Topping

  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Aromatics: Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside for later use to build flavor in the soup base.
  2. Cook Sausage: Remove the casing from the hot Italian sausage. Heat a large pot with a little oil over medium heat, add the sausage and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, then remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for a few minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Add Tomato Paste and Tomatoes: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a couple of minutes to deepen the flavor. Pour in the canned tomatoes and gently break them apart as they heat up until the mixture becomes mostly smooth.
  5. Add Broth and Season: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to your taste preferences.
  6. Cook Lasagna Pasta: Break the lasagna sheets into pieces and add them to the boiling soup. Stir frequently every couple of minutes to prevent sticking.
  7. Add Cream: When the noodles are about three-quarters done cooking, stir in the heavy cream. Mix well and allow the soup to return to a simmer.
  8. Re-add Sausage and Herbs: Put the cooked sausage back into the pot. Finely mince the fresh parsley, oregano, and basil, then add these herbs to the soup. Stir everything together and reduce heat to low. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Prepare Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses. Season this cheese mixture if desired to enhance flavor.
  10. Serve: Ladle the creamy lasagna soup into bowls and top generously with the cheese blend and extra fresh basil if desired. Enjoy immediately for a warm, comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the Italian sausage for a leaner version.
  • For a spicier soup, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or use spicy sausage.
  • If fresh herbs are unavailable, 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley, oregano, and basil can be used.
  • Gluten-free lasagna sheets can be used to make the soup gluten free.
  • To make ahead, cook the soup through step 8 and refrigerate; add sausage and herbs fresh when reheating.
  • Leftover soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • The cheese topping can be melted by broiling the soup briefly after serving if desired.
