Scale
- 1/2 lb ground sausage
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth

- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour

Instructions
-
Brown the Sausage:
In a large saucepan, brown the ground sausage over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 5-6 minutes over medium-low heat until softened. -
Add Garlic and Spinach:
Stir in the minced garlic and baby spinach. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts. -
Simmer with Broth:
Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes. -
Add Noodles and Spices:
Add the broken lasagna noodles, dried oregano, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a low boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are tender. -
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute while whisking constantly until the mixture bubbles. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens. -
Add Parmesan:
Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese. If the cheese isn’t melting, place it over very low heat and whisk constantly until smooth and creamy. -
Combine Alfredo Sauce with Soup:
Slowly add the creamy Alfredo mixture to the soup, whisking constantly to combine until smooth.
Notes
- You can adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste.
- For a lighter version, you can use low-fat milk and reduce the amount of cheese.
- The soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove.
