Ingredients
- Protein: 1 lb ground Italian sausage or ground chicken
- Aromatics: 1 medium onion (diced), 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Broth Base: 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream
- Cheeses: 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Greens: 2 cups fresh spinach
- Pasta: 6–8 lasagna noodles (broken into pieces)
- Fats: 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp olive oil
- Seasonings: 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Garnish: Fresh parsley, extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Protein:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Remove and set aside. - Sauté Aromatics:
In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 2–3 minutes. - Create the Broth Base:
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and nutmeg (optional). Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes. - Cook the Pasta:
Break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add to the pot. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. - Add Greens and Protein:
Stir in fresh spinach and the cooked sausage or chicken. Let spinach wilt and meat warm through. - Finish with Cheese:
Add dollops of ricotta and shredded mozzarella. Stir until cheeses melt into the soup. - Season and Serve:
Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve warm with crusty bread.
