Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (or ground beef)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add tomato paste and stir for a minute to deepen the flavor.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil, then add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked.
  6. Stir in the cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Let it simmer just until the cheese melts into the soup.
  7. Ladle into bowls, top with herbs, and maybe some extra cheese if you're feeling fancy. Eat while hot and cozy.

Notes

You can swap the heavy cream for half-and-half if you want it a little lighter, or skip the sausage and use lentils or mushrooms for a vegetarian twist.
