How to Make Lasagna Soup

1. Sauté the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Cook the aromatics: Add the diced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and oregano, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, marinara sauce, and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir everything together and bring the soup to a simmer.
4. Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Adjust seasoning: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Prepare the cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until well blended.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each serving with a dollop of the cheese mixture, and sprinkle with fresh basil for garnish.

Tips and Notes

• Noodle substitution: If you don’t have lasagna noodles, use bowtie, fusilli, or any other pasta you have on hand.
• Vegetarian version: Swap the sausage for mushrooms or plant-based sausage, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
• Make it creamy: Stir in a splash of heavy cream at the end for a richer soup.
• Meal prep: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken, so add extra broth when reheating.
• Serving suggestion: Serve with crusty garlic bread or a fresh green salad on the side for a complete meal.
