Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (18 oz) package hot Italian sausage, casings removed (mild sausage is good too)
  • 2 zucchini, small diced
  • 1 yellow onion, small diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, small diced
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce (I like Classico Four Cheese, add 1/3 cup grated parmesan if you use a different sauce)
  • 1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar (granulated sugar or balsamic glaze works too!)
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 7 lasagna sheets, broken into small pieces (about half of a 16 oz box of lasagna noodles)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • ricotta, for serving

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven, add the olive oil and sausage. Cook for 3-5 minutes, using a spatula to break up the sausage into crumbles until it is cooked through.
  • Add the zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper. Saute for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the vegetables start to soften.
  • Add the red wine and let boil for a couple minutes to cook off the alcohol.
  • Add the chicken broth, marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, lower to a simmer and add the broken lasagna noodles. Cover and cook for 10-20 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through. Stir occasionally or the noodles will get stuck to the bottom! Add some more chicken broth if the soup gets too thick.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese.
  • Let cool for 10-15 minutes so the soup thickens a little.
  • Serve with ricotta on top.
