Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the gluten-free lasagna noodles to the soup and cook according to package directions, usually around 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Be careful not to overcook the noodles.
- While the noodles are cooking, in a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix well.
- Ladle soup into bowls.
- Top each bowl with a dollop of the ricotta mixture and your choice of optional garnishes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Use brown rice or a blend of rice flour and other starches like tapioca or potato starch for the gluten-free noodles. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end to brighten the flavors. Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
