Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spatula.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
Season the soup with dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
Once the noodles are fully cooked, ladle the soup into serving bowls.
Top each bowl with a generous dollop of the cheese mixture. Stir gently to let the cheese melt into the soup.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley as garnish, if desired.
