Creamy Lasagna Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Soup Base

01 - 5 cups chicken broth
02 - 1 cup Alfredo sauce
03 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
04 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
05 - 1 cup heavy cream
06 - 8 lasagna noodles, broken into small bits
07 - 1 lb ground Italian sausage
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Seasonings

09 - Salt and pepper to taste
10 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
11 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

→ Cheesy Topping

12 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
13 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
15 - 1 cup ricotta cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in sausage, cook until browned while breaking it apart. Get rid of extra grease, if needed.
02 - Throw in chopped onion and cook a few minutes till it’s soft. Add minced garlic and stir for another minute until you smell it.
03 - Pour chicken broth in and let it come to a gentle simmer. Mix in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, plus salt and pepper.
04 - Drop in the lasagna pieces and let them simmer for 10 to 12 minutes while stirring every so often so they don’t stick.
05 - Turn the heat lower, stir in Alfredo sauce and heavy cream. Let it cook a few more minutes to blend everything together.
06 - In a small bowl, mix mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and parsley until smooth and creamy.
07 - Scoop the soup into bowls, then top each one with the cheesy mix. Sprinkle some parsley on top, if you want.

# Notes:

01 - Swap for other pasta if you don’t have lasagna noodles.
02 - Use ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option.
03 - Stir in a cornstarch slurry to make it thicker.
04 - It’ll last in the fridge for about 3 days.
