Ingredients for Warm Alfredo Lasagna Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
8 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought - see this guide for homemade)
1 cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Directions: How to Make Warm Alfredo Lasagna Soup

Step 1: Sauté Chicken and Aromatics

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat.
Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes or until golden and mostly cooked through.
Add onions and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 2: Build the Soup Base

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil.
Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente.

Step 3: Add Alfredo & Cream

Reduce heat to low and stir in Alfredo sauce, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add mozzarella and parmesan, stirring until melted and soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 4: Serve Your Warm Alfredo Lasagna Soup

Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and extra parmesan.
Serve piping hot with your favorite crusty bread. Enjoy!

Notes for Success

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms and add spinach near the end. See more on vegetarian swaps from Love & Lemons.
Make it extra creamy by stirring in a dollop of ricotta right before serving.
If using homemade Alfredo sauce, adjust salt as some store-bought varieties are already quite salty.

Variations: Warm Alfredo Lasagna Soup Your Way

Sausage Version: Swap chicken for Italian sausage for a bolder flavor.
Vegetarian Spinach & Artichoke: Replace meat with canned artichoke hearts and fresh spinach.
Low-Carb: Use sliced zucchini ribbons instead of lasagna noodles for a lighter soup.

How do I make it gluten-free?: Just use gluten-free lasagna noodles and ensure your Alfredo sauce is gluten-free as well.
