Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Liquids and Base
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups store-bought or homemade Alfredo sauce
Seasonings and Pasta
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables and Cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
- Sauté aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Simmer the noodles: Pour in the chicken broth and water, then stir in the broken lasagna noodles. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Add creamy ingredients and season: Stir in the heavy cream, Alfredo sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Incorporate spinach and cheese: Add the baby spinach and cook just until wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use turkey sausage instead of pork sausage.
- This soup thickens as it sits; add extra broth or water to loosen it when reheating.
