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.
