Ingredients
Method
Cook Meat:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
Sauté Aromatics:
- Add onion and cook 3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
Build Soup Base:
- Pour in chicken broth, Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
Cook Pasta:
- Add broken lasagna noodles directly to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
Make it Creamy:
- Lower heat, stir in heavy cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve:
- Ladle into bowls and top with fresh parsley or basil.
Notes
Don’t overcook the noodles — they’ll continue to soften in the hot soup.
For extra richness, add a dollop of ricotta on top before serving.
Swap sausage for rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
This soup thickens as it sits — thin with extra broth or cream when reheating.
