Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

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

Liquids and Broth

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Cheeses

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

Others

  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  3. Add broth and beans: Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer.
  4. Incorporate cheeses and spinach: Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally, letting the cheeses melt and the flavors meld.
  5. Cook noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup. Continue cooking for approximately 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Return sausage and season: Add the browned sausage back into the pot. Cook together for an additional 5 minutes to heat through. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot alongside garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • To lighten the soup, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or reduced-fat cream and use low-fat cheeses.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add more vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the cream.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end as cheeses add saltiness.
  • Use gluten-free noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.
