This hearty lasagna soup recipe is loaded with Italian sausage, lasagna noodles, and a ridiculously good tomato broth. It's on the table in just 40 minutes. Add cheesy toppings to make this soup extra amazing!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles ( broken into smaller pieces)
  • 1-2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • Toppings: ricotta, grated parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella (use any/all/none to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the sausage meat to a large soup pot (take sausage meat out of casings if using whole sausages). Brown the sausage for 5 minutes, over medium-high heat, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along. If there's a lot of excess fat, drain it.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and garlic, and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, water, Italian seasoning, and lasagna noodles. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat so it's gently boiling, and let it simmer (covered, with the lid slightly ajar) for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender. I stir it a few times just to ensure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot.

  5. 5

    While the soup's cooking, prep your toppings.

  6. 6

    Stir in the basil and season with salt & pepper as needed. Dish the soup up and top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta and a small handful of mozzarella and parmesan (go as easy or generous as you want).
