How to Make Alfredo Lasagna Soup

To create your delicious Alfredo Lasagna Soup, follow these simple steps:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add 1 pound of ground Italian sausage (or ground turkey/chicken) to the pot and brown it. Once cooked, remove the sausage and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté until soft. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
5. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
7. Break 8 lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the pot. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
8. Reduce the heat and stir in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
9. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and add ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
10. If you are using spinach, stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach and let it wilt.
11. Serve hot, topping your soup with chopped fresh parsley or basil, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, if desired.
