Description
A cozy, creamy soup loaded with sausage, noodles, and cheesy comfort. Like lasagna in a bowl.
Ingredients
1 lb Italian sausage
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
8–10 lasagna noodles, broken
1 cup chopped kale
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup grated Parmesan
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. Add onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes.
3. Sprinkle in flour, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
4. Slowly stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
5. Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer 10 minutes until tender.
6. Lower heat. Stir in half-and-half, kale, and cooked sausage.
7. Add cheeses. Stir until melted. Simmer gently 5 more minutes.
8. Season to taste. Serve warm with optional parsley and red pepper.
Notes
Don’t let the soup boil after adding dairy—it may curdle.
You can swap kale for spinach or use gluten-free noodles if needed.
Tastes even better the next day after flavors develop.
