Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

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 dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Cook the sausage:

In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
Add onions and garlic:

To the pot, add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Simmer the soup base:

Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine. Add the broken lasagna noodles, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Add the cheeses:

Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the ricotta, Parmesan, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Continue stirring until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy and thick.

Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

This creamy Alfredo lasagna soup is the ultimate comfort food—rich, creamy, and loaded with cheesy goodness! It’s a one-pot meal that’s perfect for cozy nights. 😋
