Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup
Instructions
-
Cook the Sausage and Aromatics:
- In a large pot, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it into pieces. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional minute.
-
Add Broth and Tomatoes:
- Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
-
Cook the Noodles:
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook until they’re al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until smooth and golden, about 1 minute.
- Slowly add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, around 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Combine Everything:
- Pour the Alfredo sauce into the soup pot and stir until well combined. Let the soup simmer for a few minutes to allow flavors to blend.
-
Serve and Garnish:
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese.
Tips
- For extra creaminess, add a splash of milk or heavy cream just before serving.
- If the soup thickens too much, add a bit more broth or water.
