Cook the Sausage
Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until nicely browned, using a spoon to break it into small chunks as it cooks. -
Build the Flavor Base
Toss in the diced onion and garlic. Stir and cook until the onion softens and releases its aroma. -
Simmer the Broth
Pour in the chicken broth and water, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. -
Add the Pasta
Drop in the broken lasagna noodles. Let them cook in the broth until tender, about 8–10 minutes. -
Make It Creamy
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. -
Finish with Greens
Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, giving the soup a pop of color and freshness. -
Serve It Up
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of ricotta and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately while it’s creamy and comforting!
