- Yield: 6 1x
Description
Comfort meets elegance in this creamy alfredo lasagna soup, blending Italian-inspired flavors with hearty comfort. Layers of rich pasta, tender chicken, and velvety sauce combine to create a soul-warming dish that satisfies deep hunger and culinary curiosity.
Ingredients
Meat:
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
Dairy and Cheese:
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetables and Other Ingredients:
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 12 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a spacious pot, sauté ground Italian sausage, ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until meat browns and onions become translucent, approximately 8-10 minutes. Carefully drain excess fat.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot and rapidly bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Introduce heavy cream and crumbled lasagna noodles, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the soup to cook for 18-22 minutes, ensuring noodles become perfectly tender and absorb the rich flavors.
- Gradually fold in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheeses melt completely and create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Delicately season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to personal taste preferences.
- Ladle the piping hot soup into serving bowls and elegantly garnish with fresh basil leaves, adding a vibrant finishing touch to this comforting dish.
Notes
- Perfectly brown meats on medium-high heat to develop rich, deep flavors without burning, ensuring a caramelized exterior for maximum taste.
- Balance dairy richness by using half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version that still maintains creamy texture.
- Adjust pasta cooking time carefully to prevent mushy noodles, breaking lasagna sheets into uniform smaller pieces for even cooking and easier eating.
- Create gluten-free variations by substituting traditional lasagna noodles with zucchini noodles or gluten-free pasta alternatives for sensitive dietary needs.
