Method
Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
- Add Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it up as it cooks until browned (approximately 5 minutes).
- Stir in canned tomatoes and beef broth; mix well.
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot and stir occasionally for about 10 minutes until tender.
- Once cooked, stir in ricotta cheese until creamy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
For extra flavor, add Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the soup. You can use lean turkey sausage for a lighter option. Don't overcook the lasagna noodles; they will continue to soften as they sit in the soup. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
