  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
  • 8-10 cups low sodium chicken broth divided
  • 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
  • 2 T tomato paste
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 T dried basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles (broken into pieces) or your choice of pasta
  • 1/2-1 cup heavy whipping cream
Toppings
  • crusty bread or garlic bread
  • parmesan cheese
  • mozzarella cheese
  • ricotta cheese
  • provolone cheese
  • fresh basil

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven brown the Italian sausage and onion together. Drain off any excess fat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Add spaghetti sauce, 6 cups of the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings, balsamic vinegar, sugar, bay leaf, and noodles. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until noodles are done, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  3. Discard bay leaf. Stir in heavy cream and 2-4 more cups of broth to desired consistency. Heat through.
  4. To serve: Top with cheeses of choice and serve with garlic bread OR turn on oven to low broil. Ladle soup into oven safe bowls and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Top with a slice of toasted garlic bread and lay a slice of provolone cheese on top of the bread. Place bowls on baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, watch closely. When cheese is toasted remove from the oven and top with a dollop of ricotta cheese. Enjoy!
