Classic Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Soup:

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey, for a lighter option)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (8 oz) package lasagna noodles, broken into pieces (you can use regular or no-boil lasagna noodles)
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Meat:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium heat.
• Add the ground beef (or turkey) and onion, breaking the meat apart with a spoon. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are soft, about 6-7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

2. Add the Liquids:

• Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with juices).
• Stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, and some salt and pepper to taste.

3. Add the Noodles:

• Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.

4. Make it Creamy:

• Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the butter, heavy cream, and milk.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup becomes creamy.

5. Taste and Adjust:

• Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
• If the soup is too thick, you can add more milk or broth to reach your desired consistency.

6. Serve:

• Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional mozzarella cheese and some fresh basil or parsley, if desired.

7. Enjoy:

• Serve this creamy, cheesy Alfredo lasagna soup hot with some garlic bread or crusty bread on the side!

Tips:

• Meat variation: You can use Italian sausage instead of ground beef for a more flavorful, spiced-up version of the soup.
• Veggie add-ins: Feel free to add in spinach, mushrooms, or other veggies for extra flavor and nutrition.
• For extra richness: Add a few extra tablespoons of cream cheese or ricotta cheese to the soup for a truly indulgent, creamy texture.

This Classic Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup gives you all the comforting, cheesy goodness of lasagna in a bowl, without the layers! It’s perfect for cozy nights or a family dinner, and it’s sure to be a new favorite. Enjoy!
