Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 carrot, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add minced garlic, diced onion, chopped celery, and diced carrot. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes until it begins to darken in color.
Add in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, sliced zucchini, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Add the chopped spinach and simmer for another 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
In a separate small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh basil.
To serve, ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the ricotta cheese mixture and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese if desired.
Garnish with additional fresh basil before serving if you wish.
