Rich and creamy white lasagna soup with Italian sausage, tender pasta, and three cheeses. Perfect comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Remove sausage mixture from pot and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  4. Melt butter in the same pot over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, followed by milk and heavy cream. Continue whisking until sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add broken lasagna noodles, oregano, and basil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente.
  7. Return sausage mixture to pot. Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Mix ricotta cheese with 2-3 tablespoons of hot soup in a small bowl, then stir back into the pot until well combined.
  9. Serve hot, topped with shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use sweet or hot Italian sausage based on preference. For lighter version, substitute heavy cream with additional milk.
  • Don’t skip tempering the ricotta to prevent clumping. Break lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces before adding.
  • Soup thickens as it sits. Add chicken broth or milk when reheating to restore creamy consistency.
