Sausage and Aromatics
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Broth and Beans
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed
Dairy and Greens
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Pasta and Seasoning
- 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cook the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked. Remove the browned sausage from the pot and set it aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add broth and beans: Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Incorporate dairy and greens: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Let the soup simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients well.
- Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and simmer until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Return sausage and season: Add the cooked sausage back to the soup, cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream.
- Feel free to use turkey sausage as a leaner alternative to Italian sausage.
- If you prefer, fresh lasagna noodles can be used but reduce cooking time accordingly.
- Spinach can be swapped for kale or Swiss chard for a different leafy green flavor.
- Leftover soup stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of broth if the soup thickens too much.
