Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 10 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into smaller pieces
- 1-2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
- salt & pepper to taste
- Toppings: ricotta, grated parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella use any/all/none to taste
Instructions
- Add the sausage meat to a large soup pot (take sausage meat out of casings if using whole sausages). Brown the sausage for 5 minutes, over medium-high heat, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along. If there's a lot of excess fat, drain it.
- Add the onion and garlic, and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, water, Italian seasoning, and lasagna noodles. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat so it's gently boiling, and let it simmer (covered, with the lid slightly ajar) for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender. I stir it a few times just to ensure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- While the soup's cooking, prep your toppings.
- Stir in the basil and season with salt & pepper as needed. Dish the soup up and top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta and a small handful of mozzarella and parmesan (go as easy or generous as you want).
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serves 6 if portions are reasonable (e.g. if served with garlic bread or a salad). If you're feeding very hungry people, it's more like 4 portions.
- I don't list quantities for the toppings because everyone's tastes vary. The toppings are optional but recommended.
- This soup soaks up the broth quite fast, so it's best eaten immediately. Add more beef broth to leftovers if needed.
- Find this recipe in chapter 5 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook, too.
