Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground Italian sausage (or ground beef)
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Cook the Sausage:
Add the ground Italian sausage (or ground beef) to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked through. If there’s excess fat, drain it off.
Add Broth and Seasonings:
Pour in the chicken broth, water, Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add Lasagna Noodles:
Once the soup is boiling, break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the pot. Stir occasionally, cooking for 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
Stir in Cream and Cheese:
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy and rich.
Serve and Enjoy:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
Serving Tips:
Garnish for Extra Flavor: Top your soup with fresh chopped basil or parsley to add a burst of color and freshness. A sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese also enhances the creamy, cheesy flavor.
Pair with Bread: Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread, garlic bread, or a warm baguette for dipping. The bread soaks up the rich broth, making every bite even more delicious.
Make it a Meal: Add a simple green salad on the side with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the creamy richness of the soup. A caesar salad pairs wonderfully with the Italian flavors.
Top with Croutons: For added texture, top your soup with crispy croutons or toasted bread cubes. They’ll add a nice crunch to the creamy soup.
Serve with a Side of Wine: For an elevated dining experience, pair this soup with a glass of white wine, such as a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, which complements the richness of the Alfredo broth.
Conclusion:
This Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup offers a comforting, easy-to-make twist on traditional lasagna, perfect for cozy dinners. With its rich Alfredo broth, tender noodles, and savory sausage, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Serve it with crusty bread for a complete, satisfying meal that everyone will love.
