Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped

Broth and Beans

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Other

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon to crumble it evenly. Once cooked through, remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Using the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. 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 to develop the flavors.
  4. Incorporate dairy and spinach: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to melt the cheeses and wilt the spinach.
  5. Cook noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and continue to cook until the noodles are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Stir periodically to prevent sticking.
  6. Return sausage and season: Add the browned sausage back to the soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and meld flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, topped with extra grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute turkey or chicken sausage and use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • To make it vegetarian, omit the sausage and add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for heartiness.
  • Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make the soup gluten-free.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to prevent curdling of the dairy.
  • Adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano can enhance the flavor even more.
