Ingredients:
(Serves 6–8)
For the Soup:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground Italian sausage (or ground chicken/turkey)
1 small onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
8 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish:
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped
Extra Parmesan for serving
Instructions:
Brown the Meat:
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
Sauté the Aromatics:
Add the diced onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add Broth and Noodles:
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook until they are tender but not mushy, about 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Make It Creamy:
Lower the heat and add heavy cream, milk, cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir until the cheeses melt completely and the soup becomes thick and creamy.
Season and Simmer:
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Let the soup simmer for another 3–5 minutes to blend all the flavors.
Serve and Enjoy:
Ladle into bowls and top with fresh herbs and extra Parmesan for the perfect finishing touch.
Serving and Storage Tips:
To Serve: Enjoy hot with crusty garlic bread or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
To Store: Allow soup to cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or broth to loosen the texture.
To Freeze: If freezing, leave out the noodles and add them fresh when reheating to prevent sogginess.
