How to Make Three Cheese Lasagna Soup
Step 1: Brown Meat
In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any extra fat and set the sausage aside.
Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until it’s soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Build the Soup Base
Return the sausage to the pot. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4: Cook Noodles
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook them according to package directions until they are tender, stirring sometimes so they don’t stick.
Step 5: Add Cheeses & Serve
Once the noodles are cooked, take the pot off the heat. Stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until they are melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
📝 Final Note
This soup is even better the next day as the flavors come together more. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
