Base Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces sweet Italian-style chicken sausage casings removed
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced or finely grated
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon fine sea or table salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 15-ounce can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- In a large, heavy soup pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the sausage and onion and cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the sausage, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds, then stir in the tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
- Add the broth, crushed tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil. Add lasagna noodles, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente and soup has reduced slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach and remove from heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each portion with a dollop of ricotta, then sprinkle with Parmesan and basil, and serve.
Notes
If you cannot find chicken sausage with easily removable casings, purchase a packaged chicken sausage and slice the links into medallions.
