Instructions

Brown the sausage and sauté aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces for about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic is fragrant.
Add broth, tomatoes, and seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth and the diced tomatoes along with their juice. Stir in the Italian seasoning, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Cook the noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles once the liquid is boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the noodles for 10-12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Incorporate cream and Alfredo sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and Alfredo sauce. Let the soup simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
Add cheese for richness: Mix in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and well incorporated, creating a creamy, cheesy broth.
Serve and garnish: Ladle the creamy Alfredo lasagna soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

You can substitute ground beef or turkey for the Italian sausage for a different flavor or leaner option.
For added heat, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
Broken lasagna noodles mimic the traditional lasagna layers while cooking quickly in the soup.
Use fresh garlic and onion for best flavor; canned or pre-minced garlic can alter the taste slightly.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but noodles may absorb more liquid, so add broth when reheating if needed.
