The Ultimate Cozy Bowl: Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup 🍲✨

Okay, but like, who doesn’t love lasagna?? It’s the best! But sometimes I just can’t deal with layering noodles and sauce like it’s a jigsaw puzzle, you know?! So, I whipped up this Alfredo lasagna soup that’s basically all the goodness of lasagna but in a bowl, and let me tell you, it’s like a hug from your favorite Italian grandma!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients
Alright, so here’s the deal: we’re talking about 1 lb of ground Italian sausage (or beef if you’re feeling wild), 4 cups of chicken broth (the good stuff, not that canned junk), a can of crushed tomatoes (14.5 oz), and lasagna noodles—like 8 oz of those beauties, just break ’em into smaller pieces. Then we’ve got ricotta cheese (1 cup, because duh), ½ cup of grated Parmesan, and a whopping 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella (because more cheese is always better, am I right?). And don’t forget the Italian herbs! They just make everything sing. 🎶

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly
Okay, so picture this: it’s a rainy Tuesday night, and I just got home from a long day at work. I want comfort food, but I also don’t wanna spend two hours in the kitchen, ya know? This soup saves my life! I mean, it’s quick, it’s easy, and it makes the whole house smell like an Italian restaurant. Plus, my kids LOVE it. (They’re also convinced they can help, which is a whole chaotic adventure in itself—flour everywhere, noodles flying, but hey, it’s a vibe!)

The One Trick That Changes Everything
So here’s the magic trick: you gotta let the soup simmer for at least 20 minutes after you toss everything in. But, like, start checking at 18 because you want those noodles to be perfectly tender, not mushy. Seriously, it’s a game changer! The longer it simmers, the more the flavors meld together, and it gets all creamy and dreamy. 🥰

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
1. If you’re using sausage, drain the grease. Trust me. Nobody wants a greasy soup. Gross.
2. Don’t skimp on the cheese! I mean, if you’re gonna commit to a creamy dream, go all in!
3. Taste as you go! (I know, this isn’t rocket science, but sometimes I forget, and then I’m like “this is a little bland” and I’m like *facepalm*).
4. Oh! And if you’re adding extra herbs, do it toward the end to keep that fresh flavor poppin’!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
Okay, so if you manage to have leftovers (big if!), just let the soup cool down, then stash it in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll keep for about 3-4 days—if it lasts that long! You can also freeze it, but I’d recommend leaving out the noodles if you do that. They get a little weird when frozen and reheated, you know? Just add fresh noodles when you reheat.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
