Description
This creamy Alfredo lasagna soup is packed with Italian sausage, ground beef, tender noodles, and melty cheese—comfort food in a bowl with all the flavor of lasagna and none of the fuss.
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 pieces
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the meats:
In a large pot over medium heat, cook Italian sausage, ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat.
Add broth and noodles:
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the heavy cream and broken lasagna noodles.
Simmer:
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and the soup thickens slightly.
Add cheeses:
Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup becomes creamy.
Season and serve:
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
For extra flavor, add ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes.
Use oven-ready lasagna noodles for a faster version (reduce cooking time).
Substitute part of the cream with half-and-half for a lighter soup.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to prevent curdling.
