Ingredients
Method
Cook the soup
- Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart pot over medium heat, then add the sausage and onion and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the sausage, until browned and the pork reaches 160°F.
- Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, then stir in the broken lasagna noodles and simmer for 8–12 minutes, or according to the package directions, until just tender.
Make the topping
- While the soup simmers, stir together the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley in a small bowl.
Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of the ricotta mixture.
Notes
For the best texture, cook the noodles until just tender. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days or freeze the soup, noting that the noodles may soften; add a dairy-free ricotta and mozzarella alternative if avoiding dairy.
