Creamy, cheesy, and packed with cozy Italian flavors—this soup is like a deconstructed white lasagna in a bowl! Ready in 30 minutes and perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 lb ground turkey or chicken (or Italian sausage for extra flavor!)

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1 (15 oz) can ricotta cheese (or 1.5 cups fresh)

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 cups chopped spinach or kale (optional)

• 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (for extra richness)

• 8 oz mafalda or broken lasagna noodles

(Optional garnishes: fresh basil, red pepper flakes, extra Parmesan)

Instructions

1️⃣ Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook onion until soft (3 mins), then add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
2️⃣ Brown Meat: Add ground turkey, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until no pink remains (5 mins).
3️⃣ Simmer Soup: Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook until al dente (about 10 mins).
4️⃣ Cheesy Finish: Reduce heat to low. Stir in ricotta, Parmesan, and cream until smooth. Add spinach (if using) and heat until wilted.
5️⃣ Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with fresh basil and more Parmesan.

💡 Pro Tips

• Make it gluten-free: Use GF pasta or cauliflower rice.

• Extra creamy? Blend ½ cup ricotta with broth before adding.

• Leftovers? The soup thickens—just thin with broth when reheating.

This soup is comfort in a bowl—like a hug from Nonna! 😍🍲 Want a spicy kick? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes!
