Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium heat and add the ground Italian sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to combine with the sausage mixture. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat slightly, then stir in the heavy cream and the broken lasagna noodles. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the noodles are tender yet al dente.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh spinach, ricotta cheese, and half of both the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve in bowls topped with remaining cheeses and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
