Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup 🍲🧄🧀


 

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente.
  2. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Set the noodles aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics and Meat

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 3: Build the Soup Base

  1. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 4: Combine the Pasta and Soup

  1. Add the cooked lasagna noodles to the soup. Stir to combine, adding reserved pasta water if the soup is too thick.
  2. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 5: Prepare the Cheese Topping

  1. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of the cheese mixture.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and optional crumbled bacon. Serve hot with crusty bread or garlic toast.
