Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) Italian sausage, mild or spicy, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 4 cups (1 L) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (28 oz / 800 g) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 8 oz (225 g) lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (240 g) ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through (about 5 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente.
  6. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  7. Just before serving, stir in half the mozzarella and half the Parmesan to enrich the soup.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta, a sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan, and chopped parsley.

Notes
