Here’s a recipe for Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup, a rich and comforting dish that combines the flavors of lasagna and Alfredo sauce into one delicious bowl! 🥣✨
Ingredients:
1 lb ground Italian sausage (or ground beef)
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: Fresh parsley, shredded mozzarella, or ricotta cheese
Instructions:
1. Cook the Meat:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Build the Soup Base:
Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
3. Cook the Lasagna Noodles:
Stir in the broken lasagna noodles.
Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
4. Add Cream and Cheese:
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese.
Let the soup simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
5. Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, shredded mozzarella, or a dollop of ricotta cheese if desired.
Serve warm with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Tips:
Make It Cheesy: Add shredded mozzarella to the soup just before serving for a gooey texture.
Add Veggies: Stir in fresh spinach or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
