Ingredients

Here’s what you need for creating this mouthwatering soup:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups cooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine with the sautéed onions and garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Top Tips for Perfecting Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup

1. Substitutions: If you’re looking for a lighter version, swap heavy cream for whole milk or a non-dairy alternative. You can also use plant-based cheeses for a vegan option.
2. Timing: Ensure your noodles are cooked al dente beforehand so they won’t become mushy in the soup.
3. Avoiding Common Mistakes: Stir frequently once the cream is added to prevent it from curdling. Ensure the heat is low enough that the mixture doesn’t boil violently.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Leftover Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in airtight containers; it can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat on the stovetop over low heat, or in the microwave in short bursts to ensure that it warms evenly without separating. Add a splash of chicken broth if the soup has thickened too much.

In summary, this delightful Creamy Alfredo Lasagna Soup offers a unique, comforting twist to your regular lasagna routine. With its creamy texture, savory flavors, and endless customization options, it’s no wonder why this dish is sure to impress at any family gathering.
