Lasagna Soup
with Italian sausage / ricotta / mushrooms / spinach
We created this flavorful soup in 2018 to fill a weeknight craving for lasagna with far less work. The soup even includes lasagna noodles (broken into pieces) and a topping of ricotta cheese to give you the same flavors as the original.
Smarts: This soup is great for making ahead / freezing, but wait to add the noodles until right before serving.

Make
- Heat a Dutch oven with oil over medium heat. Stir in onions, garlic, and mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add sausage and saute until sausage is breaking apart and nearly cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute more.
- Pour stock and tomatoes (including liquid) over sausage and aromatics. Add bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir lasagna noodles into soup and cover.
- Simmer soup just until lasagna noodles are al dente, tender but still with some bite. This should take 10 to 15 minutes, but watch closely to prevent over-cooking the noodles. In the last minute of cooking, stir in spinach leaves.
- Remove bay leaves. Taste soup and season with some salt and pepper.
- Divide soup between serving bowls. Top each bowl with a spoonful of ricotta cheese and some Parmesan cheese (if using). Enjoy!
