Description
A warm, comforting twist on classic Alfredo with all the coziness of lasagna in a soup form! This creamy, cheesy soup is perfect for chilly days, bringing together the richness of Alfredo sauce with tender lasagna noodles and fresh spinach.
Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or frozen if preferred)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- A pinch of nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil, for sautéing
Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté the Garlic: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn, as garlic can turn bitter.
2️⃣ Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and Italian seasoning. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3️⃣ Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat slightly, then stir in the heavy whipping cream. Add the Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring continuously until it melts and blends into a smooth, creamy broth.
4️⃣ Finish with Spinach and Seasoning: Toss in the spinach and add a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and flavors meld.
5️⃣ Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls while it’s hot. For an extra cheesy touch, garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan on top. Enjoy your comforting bowl of creamy Alfredo lasagna soup!
Notes
- Noodle Tip: Avoid overcooking the lasagna noodles in the broth as they’ll continue softening in the hot soup.
- Spinach Substitute: Kale works well as an alternative to spinach if you prefer a heartier green.
- Nutmeg: Just a pinch adds a subtle warmth that enhances the creaminess—don’t skip it!
