Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken or beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 8–10 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Meat
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken (or beef) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
Add onion and garlic to the pot. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3: Build the Soup Base
Pour in the chicken broth, Alfredo sauce, and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil.
Step 4: Add the Pasta
Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot. Simmer until the pasta is tender, about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5: Make it Creamy and Cheesy
Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Add an extra sprinkle of Parmesan for even more decadence.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with garlic bread for dipping.
- Add a crisp green salad for balance.
- Top with ricotta for an authentic lasagna touch.
Tips for Success
- Cook Pasta in the Soup: Breaking the noodles directly into the soup allows them to soak up all the flavors.
- Control the Thickness: Add more broth for a lighter soup, or let it simmer longer for a thicker, stew-like texture.
- Make Ahead: This soup reheats beautifully, but the noodles may soften—add a splash of broth when reheating.
- Cheese Choices: Mix in provolone or fontina for extra depth.
