Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 1 lb Italian Sausage Substitute with chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • 1 Onion Chopped; use shallots for a milder taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced; fresh garlic is best.
  • 6 cups Chicken Broth Opt for low-sodium broth.
Creaminess
  • 1 can White Beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed; canned chickpeas make a great substitute.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Use half-and-half or coconut milk for lighter or dairy-free options.
  • 2 cups Spinach Chopped; kale can be an excellent alternative.
Cheesy Goodness
  • 1.5 cups Ricotta Cheese Cottage cheese can be a lower-calorie swap.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded; try provolone for a twist.
  • 0.5 cups Parmesan Cheese Grated; nutritional yeast can serve as a vegan cheese alternative.
Pasta
  • 8 oz Lasagna Noodles Broken into pieces; gluten-free noodles can be used.
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste.

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, bring two tablespoons of olive oil to medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until browned and crispy.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cooking gently for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 5 minutes until the greens wilt and cheeses melt.
  5. Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot. Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Pair with garlic bread or a fresh salad.
