Main Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground Italian sausage (or ground chicken/turkey for a lighter version)
6 cups chicken broth
8–10 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
1 cup heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese Topping:

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Add-ins:

👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup
1. Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
2. Cook the Sausage
Add the ground sausage to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
3. Simmer the Broth and Pasta
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
4. Stir in the Creamy Goodness
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, heavy cream (if using), and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
If you’re adding spinach or mushrooms, toss them in now and cook until wilted or tender.
5. Add the Cheese
Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted and smooth. For an ultra-luxurious touch, dollop a spoonful of ricotta on top when serving.
🧀 How to Serve It
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with:
A swirl of ricotta cheese
Extra Parmesan or mozzarella
Fresh basil or parsley
A slice of crusty garlic bread on the side
