Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Soup Base

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups half-and-half

Seasonings and Add-ins

  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 810 lasagna noodles, broken
  • 1 cup chopped kale

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

Optional Garnishes

  • Red pepper flakes
  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside for later.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir constantly and cook for 1 minute to form a roux that will thicken the soup.
  4. Add chicken broth: Slowly pour in the low-sodium chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Cook noodles: Add broken lasagna noodles to the boiling soup. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the noodles are tender.
  6. Add dairy and greens: Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in half-and-half, chopped kale, and the cooked sausage pieces. Mix well to combine.
  7. Add cheeses: Add shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses to the pot. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt completely and the soup becomes creamy. Simmer gently for 5 more minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Season and serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control salt levels in the soup.
  • You can substitute kale with spinach if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes.
  • Breaking the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces helps them cook evenly in the soup.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
