Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1/2 lb ground sausage
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 5 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Alfredo Sauce

  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it up as it cooks to ensure even browning.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the pan with the sausage. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and baby spinach leaves, cooking briefly until the spinach wilts and garlic is fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  4. Simmer broth: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Cook noodles and season: Add the broken lasagna noodles along with dried oregano and basil. Continue cooking until the noodles are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Prepare Alfredo sauce: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  7. Add Parmesan to sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the Alfredo sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Combine and serve: Stir the Alfredo sauce into the soup base until fully combined. Heat through if necessary, then serve hot. Enjoy your comforting bowl of creamy Alfredo lasagna soup!

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control the saltiness of the soup.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or omit it and add more mushrooms.
  • Fresh Parmesan cheese is recommended for best flavor and smooth melting.
  • If the soup thickens too much after standing, add a splash of milk or broth to adjust the consistency.
  • Broken lasagna noodles cook evenly and simulate the layered effect of lasagna in soup form.
