A comforting and easy one-pot soup that captures the flavors of classic lasagna with Italian sausage, tomatoes, noodles, and cheeses. Perfect for busy weeknights and cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed (sweet or mild)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • A handful fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook for 7-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and water. Stir to combine.
  5. Mix in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes until noodles are tender but firm, stirring occasionally.
  7. Lower heat to gentle simmer. Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese into the soup and gently swirl. Add shredded mozzarella and stir until melted.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in fresh basil just before serving.

Notes

Brown the sausage thoroughly for best flavor. Break lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Add extra broth or water if soup thickens too much. For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles; for dairy-free, omit cheeses or use plant-based alternatives. Leftovers reheat well with added broth to loosen noodles. Freeze before adding cheeses.
