Description
White Lasagna Soup is a comforting, creamy soup that combines the flavors of traditional lasagna in a hearty, one-pot dish with ricotta, mozzarella, sausage, and lasagna noodles.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles. Remove excess grease if needed.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Add the Broth and Seasonings: Add chicken broth, heavy cream, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add the Lasagna Noodles: Add broken lasagna noodles and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
- Stir in the Spinach and Cheese: Add chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Stir in ricotta and shredded mozzarella until melted and creamy.
- Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and top with extra cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread or garlic bread.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with mushrooms, zucchini, or plant-based sausage alternatives.
Add more veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or peas for added flavor and texture.
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to the broth.
