Lasagna Soup

If Garfield made soup, he’d make this soup.  Of all the wildly popular American takes on Italian cuisine (spaghetti and meatballs; fettuccine Alfredo; chicken Parmesan), the latest to go viral is lasagna soup, thanks to one TikTok user with a Lego set and a thing for pasta. It retains everything you love about lasagna — the tomatoey marinara, spicy Italian sausage, soft sheets of pasta and milky ricotta cheese — and simmers it together with chicken stock to create the red sauced comfort food of your dreams.

Ingredients for the soup:

  • 2 Tab olive oil
  • 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 c dry white wine
  • 1 14.5-oz. can whole plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
  • 2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 6 lasagna noodles, broken into 1- to 2-inch pieces
  • 4 c baby spinach
  • 1/4 c fresh basil, chopped
  • Italian bread, for serving

Ingredients for the ricotta dumplings:

  • 1 c fresh ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 c freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 c fresh basil, shopped
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Make the soup:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Crumble in the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and 3 cups water to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  6. Stir in the oregano, salt and red pepper flakes.
  7. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes.
  8. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until just al dente, 6 to 7 minutes.
  9. Stir in the spinach and basil and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, if needed.

Make the ricotta dumplings:

  1. Stir together the ricotta, parmesan, basil, salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Ladle the soup into bowls and dollop the ricotta dumplings on top (about 2 tablespoons per dumpling).
  3. Top with an extra sprinkle of grated parmesan.
  4. Serve with bread.

Serves:  4 – 6

Pour Over Coffee Icebox Pie

“I heard a quote that says, “Motherhood. Powered by love. Fueled by coffee. Sustained by wine.” Like any sleep deprived, hungry human, I thought what if I combined my two favorite things. Who says you can’t have wine with your coffee? I know. I know. You don’t care what this top part says. No one reads the stories. You are here for the recipe so let’s get to it.”

Crust Ingredients:

  • Chocolate Premade Crust OR…
  • 1 package Nabisco Chocolate Wafers (I just used whole thin Oreos.  I think crushed Oreos would work better)
  • 5 Tab butter melted

Filling Ingredients:

  • 3.4 ounce package  Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (Be sure to get the instant, not the cook and serve style)
  • 3/4 c strong cold coffee (author used Outsider because “I’m no amateur and it makes a dang good cup of joe” and it is the sponsor of the blog)
  • 1 tsp instant espresso
  • 1 c cold heavy cream divided
  • *Optional: Whipped Cream and Chocolate Syrup  (Not really optional!)

Crust Instructions:

  1. Pour yourself a glass of wine because you deserve it.
  2. Crush the wafers in a food processor or with a rolling pin. Make sure to get them nice and fine.
  3. Toss with the melted butter until well blended.
  4. Press into a 9 inch regular pie shell (not a deep dish.) (I doubled it and used a 9×13 – not critical demensions – more about volume)
  5. Refrigerate.
    If you went with my cheat step, open that pre-made crust and boom! You are ready for the next step.

Filling Instructions:

  1. Whip 1/2 cup of the cream and set aside.
  2. Blend the instant espresso into the remaining half cup of cream.
  3. Stir until the pieces are completely dissolved.  It may have to sit a few minutes.
  4. Whisk the pudding mix with the cold brew (or use your cold pour over (left 0ver) coffee) and the coffee infused cream.
  5. Mix 2 minutes to allow it to thicken.
  6. Fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  7. Pour into the crust and smooth out the top.
  8. Refrigerate at least 3-4 hours before serving.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
    Pro Tip: Taste great with a glass of Madre Cabernet

Serves: 8

About the name – Outsider is a brand of coffee.  Pour over is a fancy-smancy coffee made in a carafe with fresh ground coffee (course ground of course, please), only the best, purist water, and a paper filter folded “just so”.  Strong black everyday coffee works too.

Note:  I thought it was t00 s0ft to serve as a pie.  Mayve a little less coffee in the pudding??)
