How to Make White Lasagna Soup

1. Sauté the Aromatics

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

2. Brown the Sausage

• Add the ground Italian sausage to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
• Drain any excess grease if needed.

3. Build the Soup Base

• Stir in the chicken broth, milk, and drained diced tomatoes.
• Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

4. Cook the Pasta

• Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. Prepare the Cheesy Topping

• In a small bowl, mix the mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese together until well combined.

6. Serve and Garnish

• Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a generous dollop of the cheesy mixture.
• Stir the cheese into the soup for a creamy, cheesy bite or leave it as a topping. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired.

Serving Suggestions

• Crusty Garlic Bread: Perfect for dipping into the creamy broth.
• Side Salad: A light green salad balances the richness of the soup.
• Extra Parmesan: Sprinkle on top for even more cheesy goodness.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently. Add a splash of broth or milk to refresh the soup if it thickens.
• Freeze: Freeze without the pasta for up to 3 months. Add fresh pasta after reheating for the best texture.
