Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey (lean)
- 1 small yellow onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 8 lasagna noodles (broken into pieces)
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil or parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- extra Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Step: Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, releasing a fragrant aroma that fills your kitchen.
- Step: Add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
- Step: Carefully remove excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pot for flavor.
- Step: Toss in the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, building a savory base for your soup.
- Step: Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant, making your taste buds tingle with anticipation.
- Step: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the meat and onions evenly.
- Step: Pour in the marinara sauce, chicken broth, and crushed tomatoes. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Step: Reduce heat to medium-low. Allow the soup to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, letting those flavors harmonize beautifully.
- Step: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
- Step: If the soup gets too thick, stir in additional broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Step: Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy and luscious.
- Step: Sample your creation and adjust the seasoning as needed to ensure every bite is perfectly delicious.
- Step: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped basil or parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan for that finishing touch.
- Step: Serve piping hot alongside garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a complete meal experience.
