Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Liquids

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Pasta and Dairy

  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even cooking and no large chunks remain.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the sausage. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Broth and Water: Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  4. Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering liquid. Cook until the noodles are tender, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking together.
  5. Incorporate Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook the soup gently, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes, ensuring the spinach retains its vibrant color and nutrients.
  7. Serve with Ricotta and Parsley: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for garnish and added creaminess.

Notes

  • Use mild or spicy Italian sausage depending on your heat preference.
  • Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces to ensure easy eating.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water or cook noodles slightly less to avoid over-softening.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach with kale or Swiss chard if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to prevent curdling of the cream.
