This hearty and creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup is comfort food at its best! A flavorful mix of Italian sausage, lasagna noodles, and a rich Alfredo sauce creates a soul-warming dish that’s perfect for any time of the year.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground Italian sausage (or turkey sausage)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 68 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Garnish:

  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage:
    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables:
    Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot with the sausage. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Broth and Tomatoes:
    Stir in the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), chicken broth, and crushed tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low.
  4. Cook Lasagna Noodles:
    Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (about 8-10 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
    While the soup is simmering, melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Once the cream starts to thicken slightly, stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Whisk until smooth and the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Combine the Soup and Alfredo Sauce:
    Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce into the pot with the soup. Stir well to combine, ensuring the soup is rich and creamy. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Serve:
    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Top with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use turkey sausage and substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for more nutrition.
  • This soup thickens as it cools; add extra broth or milk to thin it out when reheating.
