Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions, for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot.
Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Heat through, but do not boil.
Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted and the soup is creamy.
Serve hot over cooked lasagna noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a shortcut, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
This soup is delicious with crusty bread for dipping.
