Ingredients

• 1 lb ground Italian sausage (or ground turkey/chicken)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

• 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
• Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot and brown the sausage. Once cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté the diced onion until it becomes soft. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and let it come to a simmer. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook until they are tender, which should take about 10–12 minutes.
5. Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream until everything is smooth and well combined.
6. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
7. If you are adding spinach, do so now and stir until it wilts.
8. Serve hot, topping each bowl with parsley, basil, and mozzarella cheese if desired.
