Ingredients
For the Soup:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground Italian sausage (or ground chicken/turkey)
1 small yellow onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (undrained)
8 lasagna noodles (broken into pieces)
For Garnish:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil.
- Cook sausage: Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add onion and garlic: Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened. Add garlic, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute.
- Combine ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, Alfredo sauce, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
- Add noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles and simmer for 10–12 minutes until tender.
- Stir in cheeses and cream: Reduce heat, then stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
Notes
- To make this soup vegetarian, substitute the sausage with plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth.
- Leftovers thicken as they sit—add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
