Why I Love This Recipe
Lasagna is a labor of love, but lasagna soup? It’s a weeknight-friendly shortcut that still feels like a big warm hug. Here’s why this version is a winner:
- Creamy Alfredo base instead of tomato—extra indulgent and rich
- One-pot simplicity for easy prep and cleanup
- Loaded with two types of meat and two cheeses
- Perfect for cold nights, hungry crowds, or meal prepping ahead
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 12 lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
🔄 Swaps & Notes
- Meat options: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Noodles: Substitute with bowtie, rotini, or even no-boil lasagna sheets.
- Make it vegetarian: Omit the meats and double up on mushrooms and spinach.
- Add more veggies: Spinach, kale, or chopped zucchini work well.
👨🍳 Directions
1. Cook the Meats
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic until browned and fragrant. Drain off excess fat.
2. Add Broth
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
3. Simmer with Noodles
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in heavy cream and broken lasagna noodles. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
4. Add Cheese
Stir in shredded mozzarella and Parmesan until fully melted and smooth.
5. Season and Serve
Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with fresh basil for a burst of brightness.
✅ Tips for Success
- Break noodles into even pieces to avoid clumping.
- Stir often while simmering to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom.
- Add cheese off the heat for extra creamy results without curdling.
- Want it thicker? Let it simmer longer uncovered to reduce and intensify.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions & Pairings
Pair this Alfredo lasagna soup with:
- Garlic bread or cheesy toast
- A side of Caesar salad or roasted broccoli
- For a drink, try Blueberry Lemonade for a bright contrast, or a glass of chilled white wine
🧊 Storage & Leftovers
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Gently warm on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of broth or cream.
- Freezer: Best without noodles—freeze the base and add fresh pasta when reheating.
