Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup Mushrooms
Ingredients
For the Soup:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground chicken or Italian sausage
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups baby spinach or kale (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For Garnish:
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped
- Additional Parmesan cheese
- Crusty bread for serving (optional)
Instructions 💯
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Meat:
- Add ground chicken or sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Make the Broth:
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the broth is smooth.
- Cook the Noodles:
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 10–12 minutes.
- Add Spinach (Optional):
- If using spinach or kale, stir it into the soup and let it wilt.
- Finish with Cheese:
- Remove the soup from heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread if desired.
Tips
- For a heartier version, add mushrooms or diced zucchini when sautéing the onions.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more broth for a thinner soup or extra cheese for a thicker, creamier texture.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently, as the noodles will absorb some broth over time.
