Ingredients Notes

The magic of this Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup lies in its simple yet flavorful ingredients. Each component plays an essential role in creating a rich, satisfying dish.

Lasagna noodles are the star of the show, broken into smaller pieces for easy spoonfuls. If you’re short on time, you can swap them for bowtie or rotini pasta.

For the protein, I love using Italian sausage for its bold flavor and slight spice. However, ground beef or even shredded rotisserie chicken works beautifully.

The broth is a luscious blend of chicken stock and heavy cream, giving the soup its signature creamy texture. For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.

Parmesan cheese is a must for that classic Alfredo taste. Freshly grated Parmesan melts smoothly into the broth, adding depth and richness.

Finally, a touch of garlic and Italian seasoning brings the whole dish together, infusing it with those unmistakable lasagna flavors.

How To Make This Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

Making this soup is as simple as it is satisfying. Let’s walk through the steps to create a bowl of pure comfort.

Start by browning your Italian sausage (or preferred protein) in a large pot over medium heat. As it cooks, break it up into crumbles and allow it to develop a rich, golden-brown color. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease.

Next, add minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the pot, stirring until fragrant—about 30 seconds. This step enhances the depth of flavor, ensuring every bite is packed with warmth and spice.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Then, break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and drop them into the pot. Let them cook until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan. Stir gently until the cheese melts, creating a smooth and creamy broth that coats the noodles beautifully.

Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers, you’re in luck! This Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup stores wonderfully and tastes even better the next day.

To store, transfer cooled soup to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the pasta will continue to absorb liquid, so you may need to add a splash of broth or cream when reheating.

For longer storage, freeze the soup in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently on the stove.

To reheat, warm the soup over low heat, stirring occasionally. If needed, add a little extra broth or cream to restore its creamy consistency.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how easily it can be customized to suit your preferences.

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or whole milk. You’ll still get a creamy texture, just with fewer calories.

If you prefer a vegetarian option, skip the meat and add mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach instead. They’ll add a hearty texture while keeping the soup deliciously satisfying.

Love a bit of heat? Stir in some red pepper flakes or use spicy Italian sausage for an extra kick.

For a cheesy twist, stir in a handful of shredded mozzarella just before serving. It will melt into the broth, making it even richer and more indulgent.

Feel free to experiment with different pasta shapes, proteins, or spices to make this dish uniquely yours. However you customize it, one thing’s for sure—this Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup is bound to become a new favorite!
