Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage or ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
-
Brown the Meat:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage or beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Brown until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
-
Add Aromatics:
- Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add Broth and Alfredo Sauce:
- Pour in the chicken broth, Alfredo sauce, and diced tomatoes with their juice. Add the basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
-
Cook the Noodles:
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup. Let the soup simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
-
Add Cheese and Finish:
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, allowing them to melt into the soup, creating a rich and creamy texture.
-
Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve hot with garlic bread or a side salad.
Notes
- Storage: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding extra broth if the soup thickens too much.
- Freezing: For best results, freeze the soup without noodles. Add fresh noodles when reheating.
- Substitutions: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version, or try spinach or mushrooms for added flavor.
