how to make Decadent Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef sausage
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 6–8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
• Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

Step 1: Sauté the aromatics
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Brown the sausage
Add the ground beef sausage to the pot. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Add broth and noodles
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add broken lasagna noodles and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 12–14 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.

Step 4: Make it creamy
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream until smooth. Pour this mixture into the soup and stir. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes until thickened slightly.

Step 5: Stir in the cheese
Turn the heat to low and add the cream cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir until melted and smooth. The soup should now be thick, creamy, and wonderfully cheesy.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy
Ladle the Alfredo lasagna soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete meal.
