Lasagna Soup

Ingredients

1 box of Lasagna pasta (not oven ready)

• 1 sweet onion, diced roughly

• 2 tbsp minced garlic

• Olive oil (for cooking down veggies)

• 1 lb Italian turkey sausage

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 1 (24 oz) jar of marinara sauce

• 6 cups water

• ½ cup heavy cream

• Seasonings to taste for meat and later added to soup:

  • Garlic powder

  • Italian seasoning

  • Onion powder

  • Oregano

  • Parsley

  • Crushed red pepper

  • All-purpose seasoning

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Ricotta Topping

• 16 oz ricotta cheese

• Italian seasoning

• Garlic powder

• 4 oz parmesan cheese

• 4 oz mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

1. Add the Italian turkey sausage and ground turkey to the pot with the sautéed onions and garlic. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, oregano, crushed red pepper, and all-purpose seasoning. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through.

2. Stir in the tomato paste and marinara sauce. Once combined, refill the empty jar with water twice and pour it into the pot. Add the ½ cup of heavy cream, mixing well.

3. Break the lasagna pasta into smaller pieces and stir them into the soup. Allow it to cook until the pasta is tender, usually around 10-12 minutes.

4. While the soup is cooking, prepare the ricotta mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and Mozzarella cheese. Mix well and set aside.

5. Once the pasta is cooked and soft, stir in the fresh parsley and parmesan cheese for added flavor.

6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a generous dollop of the ricotta mixture on top and an extra sprinkle of parsley for a fresh finish.

This Lasagna Soup is a fun twist on the classic lasagna and is sure to become a family favorite, just like it is for my daughter. Enjoy this comforting dish that brings everyone to the table for a warm meal filled with love!
