Lasagna Sausage Soup (Print Version)

You’ll get lots of savory sausage, cheesy goodness, and soft noodles in a warm Italian-style bowl that fills you up.

# Ingredients:

→ Soup Base

01 - 200 g lasagna noodles, snapped into bits
02 - 1.25 litres chicken broth
03 - 800 g crushed tomatoes
04 - 2 tablespoons tomato paste
05 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1 teaspoon salt
07 - 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
08 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
09 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 - 4 cloves garlic, chopped up
11 - 1 large onion, chopped
12 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
13 - 500 g Italian sausage, take off the casings

→ Cheese Mixture & Garnish

14 - Fresh basil leaves, to top it off
15 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped up
16 - 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
17 - 200 g shredded mozzarella, split up
18 - 250 g ricotta cheese

# Steps:

01 - Toss on the last bit of mozzarella and scatter some parsley and basil over everything just before you eat.
02 - Scoop up the soup into bowls and add a big dollop of your cheesy mixture on top.
03 - Drop the cooked sausage back into your pot after the noodles are done, and give it a stir.
04 - While you're waiting on the noodles, toss ricotta, 100 g mozzarella, and all the Parmesan into a bowl. Mix until it looks smooth.
05 - Slide in the noodle bits. Let them simmer with the lid off, stirring here and there, until they're nice and soft—about 12 to 15 minutes.
06 - Pour in both the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Mix it all up and get it to start bubbling.
07 - Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another couple of minutes so it blends in.
08 - Toss the onion into that same pot and cook 'til it goes clear. Add garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then cook a bit until you smell everything.
09 - Heat olive oil in a big pot over medium. Break up and cook the sausage until brown, then scoop out with a slotted spoon and pop it aside.

# Notes:

01 - Want more heat? Just add extra chili flakes.
02 - You can use turkey or beef if you don't want sausage.
03 - Planning to freeze? Hold off on noodles and cook them fresh when you reheat.
04 - Try tossing in a handful of spinach at the end for a healthy boost.
05 - Grab some crunchy bread or a green salad to round things out.
