Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
- Add the onion and garlic, and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes.
- 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.
- 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. Stir a few times to prevent sticking.
- While the soup cooks, prep your toppings.
- Stir in the basil and season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve topped with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan.
Notes
- Use any type of sausage you prefer.
- Adjust cheese toppings to your taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
