→ Main
01 -
1 pound Italian sausage
02 -
1 medium onion, chopped
03 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
6 cups chicken broth
05 -
1 can (15 ounces) white beans, drained and rinsed
06 -
1 cup heavy cream
07 -
2 cups spinach, chopped
08 -
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
09 -
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
10 -
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
11 -
8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

# Instructions:
01 -
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Remove the browned sausage from the pot and set aside.
02 -
In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3 minutes.
03 -
Pour in chicken broth and add rinsed white beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to let the soup gently simmer.
04 -
Stir in heavy cream, chopped spinach, ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Continue simmering for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to melt the cheeses.
05 -
Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent sticking.
06 -
Return the cooked sausage to the soup and simmer for 5 more minutes. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
07 -
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, use hot Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
02 -
The soup thickens upon standing; adjust with a splash of broth when reheating leftovers.
03 -
To save time, prep all chopped vegetables and cheese before beginning the cooking process.
