Ingredients

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 pound spicy Italian chicken sausage
  • 1/2 pound ground beef or chicken
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 3 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (28 ounce) crushed tomatoes
  • 1-2 cups marinara sauce

Liquids and Vegetables

  • 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups chopped baby spinach

Pasta

  • 1 pound mafaldine pasta or 8 lasagna noodles broken into pieces

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Garnish

  • Chopped basil or parsley, for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat and onions: In a large Dutch oven, cook the spicy Italian chicken sausage, ground beef, chopped onion, and Italian seasoning over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the meat is browned all over and the onions are softened, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add tomatoes and liquids: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce, and broth. Season the mixture with sea salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly. Then add 2 cups of water and bring the soup to a boil.
  3. Cook pasta and spinach: Add the chopped baby spinach and mafaldine pasta or broken lasagna noodles to the boiling soup. Cook until the pasta is tender and the spinach is wilted, approximately 10 minutes.
  4. Add cream and cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, grated mozzarella or provolone, and parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheeses are melted and incorporated, making the soup creamy and rich.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy this hearty Italian-inspired soup.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for beef for a leaner option.
  • Mafaldine pasta can be replaced with broken lasagna noodles or any wide pasta shape.
  • Adjust the amount of marinara sauce to taste, depending on how tomato-forward you want the soup.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for added nutrients.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
