- Add the liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, marinara sauce, and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir everything together and bring the soup to a simmer.
- Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until well blended.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each serving with a dollop of the cheese mixture, and sprinkle with fresh basil for garnish.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Lasagna Soup turns out perfectly:
- Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken instead of sausage for a lighter option.
- If you want to add more veggies, consider tossing in some spinach or zucchini.
- For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream just before serving.
- Don’t skip the fresh basil; it adds a wonderful flavor that brightens the dish!
