Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 45 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: You can prepare the soup a day in advance and reheat it.

Steps to Make It

1. In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, and let the delicious aroma fill your kitchen.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. This will add a lovely depth of flavor to your soup.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. As it heats, scrape the bottom of the pot to release any tasty bits stuck there.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Whisk until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This is where the soup gets its creamy goodness.
5. Add the chopped spinach and broken lasagna noodles. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Keep an eye on it, and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Let it melt into the soup, creating a cheesy, comforting texture. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired. This soup is best enjoyed with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

Make It Perfect

• To save time, prep your ingredients ahead of time.
• If you like a bit of spice, add some red pepper flakes when cooking the sausage.
• For a veggie-packed version, throw in some diced carrots and zucchini with the onions.

Mix It Up

• Try adding cooked chicken or turkey for a different protein.
• Incorporate other veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers for added flavor.
• For a lighter soup, use low-fat cream cheese and half-and-half.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a simple green salad.
• Pair with garlic bread for a complete meal.
