Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 14 oz sweet Italian chicken sausage, casing removed
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 3 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 6 oz lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces (whole wheat or gluten-free if preferred)
  • 6 tablespoons part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add chicken sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes, breaking it up as it browns.
  2. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of parsley, chicken broth, water, marinara sauce, bay leaves, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix ricotta, parmesan, and the remaining parsley. Set aside.
  5. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook uncovered until tender, according to package directions, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove bay leaves. Ladle soup into bowls and top with ricotta mixture, mozzarella, black pepper, and basil.

Notes

  • To prevent mushy pasta, cook and store noodles separately if making ahead.
  • Add extra broth or water when reheating if the soup thickens.
  • Use gluten-free noodles if needed.
  • Swap chicken sausage for ground turkey, chicken, or beef.
  • Make vegetarian by omitting sausage and adding vegetables.
