Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
Gather your ingredients with excitement. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. As it bubbles, toss in the onions and garlic. Stir occasionally until they are golden brown, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma.
Add the ground meat to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until it’s browned and fragrant, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. This step is crucial, as it’s where all the rich flavors will begin to develop.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and mix well with the meat. The vibrant sauce will create a beautiful visual contrast. Let it simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors deepen and intertwine.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add in the pasta of your choice. Stir occasionally, and watch as the pasta cooks to perfection. The bubbling pot is a promise of deliciousness to come!
When the pasta is done, lower the heat, and add in the heavy cream and Parmesan. Stir until the cheese melts into the soup, creating a luxurious, creamy consistency. It’s time for your kitchen to smell heavenly.
Add fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts. Taste your creation, adjust the seasoning if needed, and prepare for the deliciousness that awaits!
Notes
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors will deepen overnight, making it even tastier the next day! Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if it thickens too much.
Serving Suggestions
Pair your creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup with crusty bread or a simple salad for a perfect meal. The bread is wonderful for soaking up the rich broth, making every spoonful satisfying.
Ingredient Variations
Feel free to customize this soup with any veggies you love. Zucchini, bell peppers, or even mushrooms can work splendidly. Experiment with different types of cheese as well—mozzarella can give an extra cheesy pull!
